This chapter examines the notion of a "typical" personality in the library and how it has changed
over the past 50 + years. It also considers what that means for managers tasked with organizing
these people into effective teams. In particular, the issue of disputes occurring in the workplace of

the library and its causes will be discussed. The chapter also looks at library leadership, how it
can be different in different environments and how librarians show specific leadership styles.

Also, the importance of communication is examined, and what tends to hinder it. Finally, the
authors question if these definitions apply to gaps between generations, and if so how?
