Abstract
Today's library leaders pay considerable attention to the participatory management model of decision making. Because this model incorporates into the decision making process the collective knowledge and experience of many librarians, it serves to help them make sound decisions about highly complex issues. However, as does any management model, it comes with its own unique set of difficulties. It must be used with discrimination, staff need to be trained in participatory management processes, and not everyone wishes to participate in management decisions. Also, it is a time consuming process, may cause resentment among staff, and may serve as a convenient mask for poor leadership.
