* The superficial problem: The library’s allocated budget was incresed after the ‘whole of campus review’ instituted by the new principal.

* The deeper issues:

– Jealousy and some snide remarks from the other departmental heads

– The disaffected senior staff

* What strategies are needed to solve this  problem?

For the ‘whole of campus review’ by the new principal, the TL produced a detailed and professional report on the library buildings and resources. This gave the library enough budget for the following year, but it caused jealousy and some snide remarks from other departmental heads.

One of the strategies to solve this problem is for the TL to try to build up cordial working relationships with other staff. When the TL as a transformational leader shows a genuine respect and care for other staff, she (he) can create “a sense of value and support among staff.” (Smith, 2016, p.67)
