PCI Webinar with Cari Dubiel- A Day in the Life of a New Library Leader Online
Have you recently been promoted to a leadership position in your library, or are you starting a brand-new job? There is so much you need to know, and it’s hard to decide where to begin.
In this webinar, we’ll follow two supervisors as they become comfortable in their new roles: Eric, who’s been promoted from circulation clerk to circulation manager, and Charlotte, who brings management experience from her previous role but is starting fresh at a new library. Each faces unique challenges: having to post a position on the first day; navigating a department without training; adjusting expectations in previous relationships; and more.
We’ll discuss how Eric and Charlotte can succeed in these constantly shifting environments.
As a result of this program, participants will:
- Learn how to gain authority and trust in a leadership role
- Discuss how to manage unique situations such as inheriting a position and moving from peer to supervisor
- Discuss hiring and personnel management decisions
Audience: New library leaders including supervisors and managers.
