Leaders are built at all points along the line -- in formal and informal ways. Many leaders are promoted without formal training. They either emulate those they admire or lead in ways that are in direct opposition to leaders they haven’t enjoyed working for in the past. But like most skills, leadership gets easier (and we get better at it!) the more we practice.
In
this 3-hour pre-conference workshop, ZingTrain will
share Zingerman’s^ approach to leadership based on the
concepts of Servant Leadership and Stewardship. This is the
belief that as leaders--in libraries, departments, ad hoc
committees, projects, or programs--our first priority is to
serve those under our leadership. This session provides the
outlook, tools, and skills to help you turn a
service-oriented approach to librarianship into an effective
leadership strategy. Discover how to lead by putting the
needs of your communities first and how to support not only
the members of your team, but the interactions your team
will have with colleagues, faculty, or students across
campus as well.
Participants
will learn how clear communication, holding space for
learning and gratitude, and maintaining a positive
leadership style can increase team effectiveness. Theory
will then be put into practice as participants practice
giving and receiving effective feedback and create a
personal action plan for becoming a better leader.
Typically, pre-conference workshops have anywhere from 10-30 attendees. As such, they are able to have a significant amount of interactivity.
