Universitätsbibliotheken spielen eine Schlüsselrolle beim Aufbau dynamischer und widerstandsfähiger akademischer Milieus, indem sie effektives Lernen, Lehren und Forschen ermöglichen. Ihre Fähigkeit, diesen Auftrag zu erfüllen, hängt jedoch in hohem Maße von einer visionären Führung ab. In Anlehnung an Erkenntnisse von Michael Gibbson und zeitgenössische Führungstheorien analysiert dieser Artikel die zentrale Rolle der Führung bei der Stärkung der Resilienz und der Bedeutung von Universitätsbibliotheken in Nigeria. Er untersucht die Herausforderungen, die sich aus ineffektiver Führung ergeben, die häufig auf Probleme wie ethnische Patronage und ineffiziente Auswahlprozesse zurückzuführen sind. Darüber hinaus wird die Notwendigkeit proaktiver Führung hervorgehoben, die in der Lage ist, sich im komplexen Umfeld der Universitätspolitik und der Ressourcenallokation zu bewegen, um Bibliotheksbestände und -dienste zu stärken. Durch die Analyse des Zusammenhangs zwischen Führungsstilen und Organisationskultur betont der Artikel die Bedeutung der Herausbildung eines unterstützenden Arbeitsumfelds, das Innovation und Kundenzufriedenheit fördert. Zudem plädiert der Artikel für kontinuierliche Schulungen und Entwicklungsinitiativen, um Bibliotheksleiter und ihr Personal mit den notwendigen Kompetenzen auszustatten, die es ihnen ermöglichen, sich an sich wandelnde Anforderungen und Technologien anzupassen. Der Artikel liefert wertvolle Erkenntnisse für Entscheidungsträger, Verwaltungsverantwortliche und Praktiker, die die Resilienz und Effektivität der Führung von akademischen Bibliotheken in Nigeria und darüber hinaus stärken wollen.
