When You are in Charge: Reflections on Managing Staff in the Library

Abstract

There are times when we might find ourselves in charge, often through no fault or motive of our own! Sometimes there might be an organizational shift, someone might retire or divisions merge and then YOU are in charge. Sometimes even a simple situation, such as having an intern or a work-study student still results in having to be responsible for the work outcomes and evaluations of another. Get some ideas on how to navigate the choppy waters of management.
