7 Secrets to Getting Staff to Work Together
Teamwork might make the dream work, but it is the teammates who make
the team work. To facilitate effective teamwork, leaders must understand
the nuances of team micro dynamics—small, seemingly inconsequential
behaviors that foster collaboration, communication, and cooperation
between individual team members. This session will explore the concept
of creating a workplace culture where staff value being a part of
something bigger than themselves. Through storytelling, humor, and
self-assessment, participants will discover the seven secrets to
creating good teammates. Prepare to exit with practical takeaways and a
rejuvenated sense of purpose. Every community wins when their library's
staff works together!
