John Lubans Blog

This website has been superseded by the blog, Leading from the Middle. The blog began with the publication of John Lubans' book, "Leading from the Middle," and Other Contrarian Essays on Library Leadership" from ABC-Clio / Libraries Unlimited (A Beta Phi Mu Monograph) in June 2010.

This blog includes Mr. Lubans' weekly musings about democratic organizations and shared leadership. And, it includes comments about teamwork, empowerment, "followership," the hierarchy, the unboss, and freedom at work. Each week there is a Friday Fable based on fables by Aesop and others including John's own. John Lubans can be reached via Facebook, Linked-in or by leaving a comment at the blog.

*The S-shaped curve is a visual metaphor for change. Anticipate, adapt, improve or risk  marginalization. Create a new upward curve or slide down into a quaint inutilty.
