Leadership Developing School Library Collections
An important source of leadership for
teacher-librarians is their forging strong links
with their parent communities. Out of adversity
comes strength
52
Leadership Developing School Library Collections
Situation A school community objected to a large
weeding deemed necessary by library
staff. Stakes The collection could not grow,
the teacher-librarians position was weakened,
and large-scale political action was
threatened. Solution Think big and use the
opportunity to create collection standards tied
to literacy and student achievement, and
communicate them to the larger community.

The Tao of LeadershipThe Sage as Leader
  • Three great treasures
  • True virtue
  • Non-action

59
I have just three things to teach simplicity,
patience, compassion.These three are your
greatest treasures. Simple in actions and in
thoughts,you return to the source of
being. Patient with both friends and
enemies,you accord with the way things
are. Compassionate toward yourself,you
reconcile all beings in the world.
The Sage as Leader
60
Encouraging people and cultivating
them Encouraging them without taking
over Working but taking no credit Leading but
taking no control This is virtue the mysterious
Te.
The Sage as Leader
61
Sound harmonizes with Silence. And those ahead
dance with those behind. Knowing this, the sage
embraces Non-action in her daily life. Her
practice is a teaching without words. She pays
attention to things As they come to her. She does
not turn away.
