Libraries are spaces to collaborate, grow, thrive, and work together to meet the needs of our patrons. Our study will provide a global perspective from state, national, and international participants on the ideal qualities of library leaders and employees. The primary results will be shared from both leader and employee perspectives. The study was guided by three primary research questions: 1) What are the ideal qualities of library administrators? 2) What are the ideal qualities of library employees? and 3) How satisfied are library leaders and employees with one another? The requisite hard, soft, and technological skills for each were also identified. Our poster presentation will share results within the context of each research question.
