It's a New Day, So Be a Great New Boss
***BEFORE YOU REGISTER FOR THIS ON-DEMAND WEBINAR PLEASE REVIEW IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION BELOW***
A lot has changed in libraries since Be a Great Boss: One Year to Success (ALA Editions) was released in 2011, and most of those changes have to do with leadership. Hard skills such as cataloging, budgeting, reference work, and even schedule building have taken a back seat to the soft leadership skills needed for effective team building. In this on-demand webinar, learn how to add and enhance these talents because—in today’s exciting, new library world—bosses don't have to be new but leadership does!
Originally presented October 26, 2022.
Learning Outcomes
At the conclusion of this on-demand webinar, participants will be able to:
- Discern the difference between outdated, ineffective leadership traits and newer skills better suited to today's library teams;
- Analyze their own leadership competencies and differentiate their strengths and weaknesses vis-à-vis current, effective practices; and
- Formulate and implement concrete development plans that can quickly result in their professional growth and improved leadership skills.
