A Webinar for Library Managers with Cheryl Gould

The world is changing fast. Between technological advances, easy access to information, and changing library customer expectations, "we've always done it this way" probably isn't the best strategy for creating sustainable library services. The collective wisdom in the world of creating sustainable organizations says that to move forward, we need new management styles, new communication styles, and new skills. We want to move away from bosses who criticize to leaders who support.

In this workshop we will discuss the what, the why, and the how, so that you can start (or keep) moving towards creating a flexible and nimble organization that moves from the old "command and control" management style to a new collaborative style--where managers act more as coaches and facilitators than as directors and critics, and where employees feel engaged and committed to the purpose of the library and feel empowered to get things done.

Seats are limited - sign up today!
