The Machiavellian Librarian - Winning Allies, Combating Budget Cuts, and influencing Stakeholders (Paperback, New)

Do librarians rock the boat ? Do they challenge those around them to win influence and advantage? Why is it that librarians are little found on the influence grid of personality assessment tests?

Authors offer first hand and clear examples to help librarians learn to use their influence effectively, for the betterment of their library and their career. Opening chapters cover visualizing data, as well as networking and strategic alignment. Following chapters discuss influence without authority-making fierce allies, communicating results in accessible language and user-centered planning. Closing chapters address using accreditation and regulation reporting to better position the library, as well as political positioning and outcome assessment.
