Leadership For All

Half-day online course

Learn how to communicate, lead, and work effectively with colleagues and staff across multiple generations. 

Libraries are unique workplaces that often have staff spanning five or six generations. Differences in workplace expectations, generational norms, and communication challenges can create intergenerational conflicts that lead to frustration and low morale. This course will address these issues and teach you valuable skills for working across generations. You will learn strategies for communicating clearly and directly, providing and receiving feedback, and differentiating your leadership style to accommodate unique staff needs. Leave this half-day course with practical, people-centered leadership skills to decrease friction and create a more positive workplace culture in your library.
