Abstract
This chapter wants to be a reflection of the first year of being a manager, during which the author tried to apply a practical managerial approach that could be considered more person-centered. The reflective essay presents the choices and the decisions that the author made to create a comfortable and empathic work environment for all the library employees after a traumatic event that, in different ways, had an impact on all staff members, and on their relationships as co-workers. The idea of using a person-centered management style comes from realizing that the most challenging aspect of the library work is trying to create a balanced environment in which all library staff can feel they are considered as persons and not just as workforce.
