Abstract
Managing a project team with critical outcomes and strong personalities is a complex task. It’s also one that librarians end up doing frequently: leading teams of peers on critical, shortor medium-term projects without necessarily having training or support in leading teams. So, with the stakes high and experience low, how do you avoid blundering into error? Ideas listed here are inspired by the Harvard Business Review article “Are you sure you’re not a bad boss?” as well as a Daniel Goleman article in the New York Times on emotional intelligence and library-specific articles such as Steven Bell’s Good Leaders Learn What Not to Do and Jennifer Bartlett’s The Power Deep in Org Chart: Leading from the Middle. This list, though, is a library-focused take on how to lead peers when you are not in a formal managerial role.
