Libraries – Powerful Partners…07.02.12

From Libraries Are Powerful Partners by Bobbi Newman (Librarian by Day):

“…Powerful partners:

• contribute
• share
• bring something to the table
• show up at the party even when they aren’t the belle of the ball
• realize that there are many stakeholders
• offer support for initiatives and ideas they didn’t think of
• are not defensive or hostile
• are team players even when they can’t be leaders
• contribute to the success of others
• don’t insist on doing things ‘my way’…”
