AB  - Although library managers have acquired the conventional
management skills, they remain undervalued as a profession.
Using Drucker′s distinction between management
development and manager development, argues that manager
or self‐development is currently neglected in UK libraries,
but is a prerequisite of the new management culture.
Compares the position of library managers with that of
women in business and suggests specific areas of self‐development
training. Highlights the disparity between
leadership training within libraries in the UK and the USA.
Urges that only by focusing on self‐development will library
managers be able to release their full potential and shape
their environment.
