Abstract
This poster explored what it's like to lead a library that is experiencing frequent significant changes. This includes transitioning from a joint operation to serving a single institution; changing which subjects and departments are served by the library; significant staff turnover; and technological turmoil. It explores the questions: How do you provide a steady hand internally and a flexible appearance externally? How do you design an organizational structure that can provide strength and agility simultaneously? What does success look like over time? Can you think strategically within an uncertain identity? While not every library experiences these changes, all libraries struggle with some of these questions some of the time. And importantly, it will consider how library leadership can affect the morale and development of library staff amidst these changes.
