This is the last of four one-hour webinars in the New Manager series. This webinar was recorded via SEFLIN Connect on April 21, 2011.
Whether you have the title or not, many library professionals are taking on additional duties that require them to manage and lead others. As duties and responsibilities change, the need to learn and master new skills becomes even more important for their success.
Change is all around us today. Technology evolves and changes. We change the look of our buildings and of our personnel. We change our policies and procedures. And many times, change is “dumped” on us, where we have little if any input into the implementation and effects of the change on our library, staff and patrons.
The good news is…change can be effectively managed. This webinar explores the processes and techniques that can be used to make the most of change…or at least to minimize the resistance to it.
Participants will learn and begin to master:
- To see change as an opportunity for self-motivation and innovation
- To identify strategies for helping change to be accepted and implemented in the workplace
- The reasons why people resist changes in the workplace, including the four stages of coping with change
- The seven steps to becoming a change leader in the organization
