    Library Leadership Lessons Gleaned from WWII Submariners Stuart Gaetjens Abstract Many aspects of good leadership have not changed over time. This article uses examples from World War II submarining, particularly Capt. Eugene Fluckey’s experiences, as a launching point for discussing modern academic library leadership. There are six points of leadership discussed which alternate between submarining and libraries: selecting team members, cross-training, respecting the individual, developing esprit de corps, communicating hard truths, and thinking big thoughts. Introduction At the beginning of World War II, submarines were seen as fragile and vulnerable. Captains were trained to remain submerged all day hunting for enemy ships sitting in one place or moving at a couple miles per hour on battery power. Temperatures inside the submarine would rise to 130 degrees.1 Oxygen levels would drop so low that lit matches would immediately go out. No one could use the bathroom during the day because the burst of air used to expel waste might give away the submarine’s location. Then at night they would surface to change locations and charge their batteries. By the end of the war, bold leaders were running on the surface day and night and attacking land targets with rockets. The submarines did not change significantly during the war, but the leaders did. Capt. Eugene Fluckey summarized it by saying, “it inspired me to see that submarining had risen to its full, mature potential.”2 Leaders reevaluated the capabilities and risks and became the hunters rather than the hunted. What are the expectations of what libraries can be today? Are we creeping along under the waves, or boldly cruising on the surface? I have identified the following five areas in which effective leaders and managers can improve their team; then a sixth area which separates visionary leaders from effective managers.

    Wisconsin Public Television World War II Stories Project Transcript of an Oral History Interview with DONALD COLLINS Radio Striker, Submariner, Navy, World War II. 2002 OH 916 1 OH 916 Collins, Donald E. (1924-2006). Oral History Interview, 2002. Video Recording : 5 videorecordings (ca. 145 min.); ½ inch, color. Transcript : 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder) Abstract: Donald E. Collins, a Sunbury, Pennsylvania native, discusses his World War II service in the Pacific theater as a radio striker aboard the USS Finback , a Navy submarine. Collins talks about being too light weight to join the Marines, enlisting in the Navy, boot camp at Sampson Naval Training Center (New York), and practical jokes played during time in an outgoing unit. He discusses assignment to code school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, meeting his future wife at a USO, attending submarine school at Naval Submarine Base New London (Connecticut), and being inspected for possession of liquor by Charles Spritz. Shipped to Hawaii aboard one of the “Kaiser's coffins” (an escort carrier built by Kaiser Shipbuilding Co.), Collins describes uneasy relations with the Seabees, earning extra money cutting meat, and being evacuated due to a fire. Assigned to the USS Finback (SS-230), he mentions crash course training in wolf pack procedure to work with other boats, and he explains their use of radio silence, LORAN (Long Range Navigation), and offensive tactics. He describes the different sounds heard while underwater, including identifying ships by the sound of their screws. Collins describes submarine rest camps and reflects on the privileges submariners had. He relates his first experience being near exploding depth charges, and he talks about duty in the conning tower and daily life.
