contents When to Lead & When to Manage: Balancing Lofty Goals with Day-to-Day Tasks in the School Library Megan Musick School Libraries Library Administration High Schools Librarians Leadership Library Services Administrator Responsibility When she was was first hired as the Scott County High School (KY) librarian, Megan Musick had many lofty goals. However after one week, she was overwhelmed with phone calls, e-mails, and people dropping in. She felt like she was just putting out small fires and never accomplishing anything. Her brain was frazzled because she was going from one task to another with no downtime in between, and she could hardly focus on anything before facing another interruption. She quickly realized something had to be done. Last year, she enrolled in a six-week online leadership class taught by Hilda Weisburg, a national leader in librarianship. This class completely changed her mindset, her work ethic, the way she plans, and what she does on a daily basis and why she does it. In this article, Megan Musick shares some of the life-changing tips she learned and shows how she integrated these tips into her library in the hope they will help others if they are also struggling to balance their lofty goals with their day-to-day tasks.
