Two-week course | Live sessions June 6 & June 9, 2024
Time Commitment: 9 hours
This is a two-week, accelerated version of our longer course intended for busy managers who need crucial information quickly to better fit your schedule.
This course will set you up for success in your future or existing management position by training you on the fundamentals of library management.
Built specifically for new managers (or those on a future management track), this interactive, project-based course will provide foundational learning on a broad range of subjects crucial to effective managers, including:
- Building team culture and people management
- Equity-centered leadership
- Managing difficult conversations
- Providing feedback
- Conflict resolution
- Crisis and incident management
- Supporting yourself and staff through burnout
- Data-informed decision making
- ...and more
You will have the chance to build a community of peers in similar roles across the country and be able to ask questions of each other, crowdsource resources, and work through specific situations you’ve encountered.
This 2-week intensive, online course is created to prepare library managers for the specific challenges you will face but were not trained for. Each live-session week will include:
- Training from an expert guest speaker
- A facilitated discssion and Q&A
- An optional interactive working session to practice new skills with peers
In the week between the live session meetings, you will have the opportunity to work on asynchronous prompts in peer cohort groups that will lead to a culminating portfolio of management resources. You will leave this course with a new cohort of peers and a Library Journal Management Training Certificate.
