A successful library involves leadership and careful management. The management perspective starts at the big picture level, establishing goals and objectives, planning for implementation, determining value and promoting community and stakeholder relationships. There is so much overlap among the tasks related to managing a library that it is difficult to separate them into mutually exclusive buckets. If something seems to be missing in one of these competency sections, it's likely that it is covered in another section.
