[Michlib-l] MLA Presents - Surviving and Thriving as a New Library Director

[Amber Sheerin]

SURVIVING AND THRIVING AS A NEW LIBRARY DIRECTOR 2021

Are you a newly appointed library director in need of support and information? Join us for Surviving and Thriving as a Library Director!

Surviving and Thriving as a Library Director begins in February 2021 and will address the many issues confronting new library directors. Consultant, coach and speaker Maxine Bleiweis presents an in-depth program addressing the many challenges confronting public library directors. The program will include both group classes and an individual consulting session. The combination of small group support and one-on-one expert guidance offers personalized situational learning and you’ll discover a close cohort of new directors who can support you throughout your career.

While management books and courses can be helpful, this approach bridges the vast gulf between theory and practice to help you thrive as a community leader and public library director. Suggested readings, podcasts, and discussion of practical scenarios will help you develop your leadership skills. Topics covered will include:
·         coaching and supporting staff
·         personnel issues
·         managing boards and city managers
·         spotting trends
·         leveraging your community for support
·         taking care of yourself
·         community leadership and management style
·         understanding your strengths and weaknesses as a leader
·         specific situations that each attendee is facing
