The dysfunctional library : challenges and solutions to workplace relationships / by Henry, Jo,author.(CARDINAL)406541; Eshleman, Joe,author.(CARDINAL)356140; Moniz, Richard,author.(CARDINAL)356139;

Includes bibliographical references and index.The dysfunctional self -- Dysfunctional organizational culture -- Incivility in the work environment -- Toxic behaviors of staff -- Organizational deviance and workplace politics -- Poor communication in the workplace -- Conflict management -- Ineffective collaboration -- Difficulties with team composition -- Leading away from library dysfunction.Frankly, it's not something we like to talk about. There is an unfortunate stigma to acknowledging workplace dysfunction, let alone trying to grapple with the problem. But negative behaviors such as incivility, toxicity, deviant behavior, workplace politics, and team and leadership dysfunction not only make the library a stressful workplace, they also run counter to the core values of librarianship. An important tool for library leaders and managers as well as library staff, this book examines these negative relationship-based issues and suggests practical, research-based solutions by discussing the importance of understanding oneself as related to the library workplace; identifying attributes specific to libraries that foster personal success; showing how organizational dysfunction is rooted in problems such as poor communication, inadequate leadership, and lack of employee engagement; breaking down relatable scenarios to analyze what's behind them and how to defuse them, ranging from a gossipy coworker who fails to contribute to the organization to workplace bullying and mobbing; exploring causes, results, and potential solutions in the areas of cyberloafing, fraud, theft, and sabotage; delving into the importance of conflict management, surveying a variety of approaches and applications; examining the use of teams in libraries and the impact of favoritism, nepotism, and sexism; and providing techniques for successful collaboration, leadership, organizational communication, and other key management topics. By tackling the dysfunctional library head on, managers as well as library workers who find themselves in a toxic situation will be poised to better meet library goals and move the library forward.

But there's hope. Following up their acclaimed examination of the dysfunctional library ("should be essential reading for library leaders" raves Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association), here the authors present a book of proactive solutions and guidance culled from their own research, including interviews with library administrators and staff. Sharing valuable insights that will stimulate thought and discussion towards the goal of a healthier and more harmonious workplace, this book addresses the subject from four viewpoints--individual, team, leader, and organization--focusing on solutions and practical steps in each area; shows how self-reflection and self-awareness can be key starting points for exploring workplace issues; offers numerous suggestions for wellness and self-care; provides tips for improving interpersonal communication and conversations in ways that prevent silos and span boundaries; sheds light on forming and sustaining cohesive library teams, then provides solutions for misaligned teams and dissenters; discusses why effectively conveying vision, role modeling, and demonstrating empathy are all crucial behaviors of library leaders; shares actions library leaders can take to engage employees in the change process; examines how organizational structures can either detract or contribute to a library's success; and details types of training that can be utilized to minimize dysfunction, including training for bias, empathy, conflict management, and diversity. Filled with beneficial advice on every page, this resource will help libraries be better workplaces for everyone"--
