How does Colvin’s (2000) article, Managing in the info era, relate to school libraries?

Point #1

Libraries, like businesses, are filled with humans and these humans are not oxen incapable of thought.

Point #2

Libraries are organic in nature- the people using the organisation change constantly and their needs/wants are unpredictable.

Point #3

Teams that share common values and goals will work more effectively than those who do not. Positive interactions and relationships are the backbone of well-managed teams.

Point #4

Encouraging creativity, good judgement and imagination while providing recognition where it is due will assist with points 1-3.
