To be a good leader, you have to love the people you lead. Yeah, I said it.
A debate currently ongoing at the Scholarly Kitchen sheds useful light on different ways of thinking about the relationship between academic libraries and their host institutions.

Don't ask other people to understand the library better; instead, try to understand them and their needs.
When an employee makes a mistake, a good leader doesn't clean up the mess for them.
