Using the Leadership Practices Inventory, an online assessment tool developed by Kouzes and Posner (2007) as part of their "Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership," and telephone interviews conducted by the author in a mixed methods study, city managers who supervise public library directors and peer department heads who work with public library directors in local government in California provided observational insights into behaviors and other factors that influenced their perceptions of the public library director as leader or manager or both. Transformational leadership theory served as the framework for this exploratory study, to understand how librarians can better prepare themselves for leadership and influence in a municipal setting. The findings suggest that public library directors should focus on activities and collaborations that can demonstrate their knowledge and professionalism, along with "acting like" a leader and seeking opportunities to participate in local government projects, problem solving, and innovation. Findings reveal that greater participation by city managers and city department heads would benefit similar studies in the future, though librarians, library educators, city managers, and local government leadership development may benefit from understanding the results of this study.
