Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

The necessity for library leaders to demonstrate that libraries are innovative, collaborative, and can provide eye-catching, transformational services and programs to their communities cannot be understated. But libraries do not suffer from a lack of big ideas. What library workers really need is a roadmap for making those big, impactful ideas become reality. Based in part on her extensive experience coordinating large-scale initiatives, this guide from ASCLA Leadership and Professional Achievement Award-winning consultant Horton will walk you through formulating and shaping your ideas into sellable, actionable projects. You'll learn

- why Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAG) are worth your time and effort;
- guidance on upscaling your idea into a project or service that can be launched at a statewide, community wide, or library consortia level;
- several case studies of large-scale library projects, with analysis of why they were successful;
- how to successfully combine foundational principles of innovation with practical methods for collaboration;
- methods for extending your reach beyond your usual sphere to partner with other libraries and organizations;
- how to sharpen your skills of persuasion;
- no-nonsense advice on leading teams of disparate individuals; and
