Libraries are forever in a state of change and evolution. We are affected by social movements, cultural norms, the political climate, and economic forces. Developing skills in inclusive leadership is one step toward fostering workspaces that are diverse, equitable, and able to effectively manage through change while holding true to our values as library workers.

Inclusive Leadership in Academic Libraries offers 26 chapters in three parts that explore what inclusive leadership is, the theories underlying it, and ways to incorporate it into your daily work.

Setting the Stage: Introduces inclusive leadership and theoretical frameworks
Concepts and Practices: Includes chapters on the themes and theories of inclusive leadership and case studies demonstrating them
Living Into Inclusive Leadership: Puts inclusive leadership into practice and offers examples of how it's been done in various academic libraries

Inclusive leadership incorporates empathy, acknowledges that every person brings different perspectives and skills to the workplace, and articulates that leaders exist at all levels. Inclusive Leadership in Academic Libraries will help you incorporate effective, equitable practices throughout your library. This book is also available as an open access edition.
