The MLGSCA Spring CE and Business Meeting will be held on Friday, April 8.
Gaining Leadership Skills without Formally Supervising People by Natalie Reed from Midwestern University.
This class will help each participant to identify leadership skills she/he wants to develop, and then identify non-supervisory leadership opportunities that currently exist for them in their own circles of influence.
People without supervisory experience often wonder how to get leadership experience to qualify for a future management role and thus enhance their career development opportunities. In response to the growing need to develop library leaders to replace retiring babyboomers, a task force of the Leadership and Management Section of MLA has identified experience and qualification expectations that current upper library managers hold.
These are somewhat different from beliefs about skills that the applicant pool holds. Leadership opportunities exist all around us, in and out of our professional responsibilities and places of work. Participants will use in-class discussion and worksheets to create a personal action plan and timeline to obtain leadership experience that s/he desires.
**This course was evaluated at MLA ’10 and scored an overall course grade of 3.959 on a 4.0 scale. The mean score for all evaluated courses taught at MLA ’10 was 3.744 on a 4.0 scale. This class will be available at various site locations in Arizona and California or at your desk via MegaMeeting. More details and registration information will be available soon. Thanks!
