Library Leadership Programs

Leadership 1

Arabella Advisors, a philanthropy consulting firm, is producing a study of library leadership programs for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The study seeks to identify key players and highlight opportunities in the field of library leadership in a report that can be shared broadly.

As part of the initial research, Arabella is building an inventory of library leadership programs outside the US. If you are familiar with any leadership training program outside the US (either because you are running a program, have considered attending one or attended one in the past) please let them know via email at kheira.mansouri@arabellaadvisors. The goal is to build a wide-ranging list of leadership programs around the world so that the field can have an overview of how leadership training is done in various regions of the world.
The definition of  library leadership program is any program that is covering some or all of the following themes: advocacy, collaboration and partnerships, innovation, impact measurement, community engagement, change management, strategic planning and risk taking. Please feel free to share this message with anyone who might know of leadership programs in their region.
