Abstract

Libraries need to be developed and improved greatly in the modern era, and this can only be accomplished with the help of good leaders and the cooperation, enthusiasm, and support of the library staff. This paper defines leadership and discusses why it’s important in libraries. The changing dynamics of the society conceived by Alvin Toffler and further extended to the changes that took place after ‘Third Wave’ that covers from Digital Society to Cyber –Physical Society has been portrayed. The concepts of effective, innovative and creative leadership have been discussed in relation to the libraries. The paper argues that a leader rises to the occasion when they accept accountability. Intellectual capital is the foundation of today’s competitive world and the dynamics of society, from the agrarian to the cyber-physical, depend on effective, imaginative, and creative leadership to march beyond the confines of libraries.
