Present day National Library Associations should link up and collaborate with other International Associations like IFLA for sustainable partnership in order to promote leadership development. Professional Associations’ viability depends in part on effective leadership. In essence Effective leaders engage in both professional leadership behaviours such as setting a mission, creating a process for achieving goals, aligning processes and procedures and personal leadership behaviours which includes amongst others building trust, caring for people, acting morally. In reality leader behaviours and actions are important determinants of effectiveness. Professional leadership is an essential first step in the leadership process. It provides a foundation that leads to willing cooperation. Personal leadership is an essential contributor to willing cooperation. This particular paper takes a look at leadership in Librarianship at National Association Level and how it can be harnessed. It considers direction to undertake.
