In this Demco-sponsored webcast Catherine Hakala-Ausperk, from Libraries Thrive Consulting, joins Demco’s Director of Library Engagement, Janet Nelson, to discuss time-proven professional development ideas for leadership success. Whether you have just been promoted to a leadership position or would like to be in one in the future, there are always tips and tricks that can help you to further develop your skills. We have all met great leaders, worked for great leaders or sometimes known their evil twins. For anyone — and everyone — who wants to be a great leader, a very simple recipe of awareness, key qualities and ongoing development can be your pathway to success.

We will discuss:

  1. The ingredients that make a great leader
  2. Direction for developing your skills and learning new things
  3. Developing priorities and having fun along the way
  4. Sharing your skills and developing others

Ideas and approaches will be shared to spark even more thought around how you can grow and develop as a leader. Catherine will happily discuss her experience as a leader and in training other library leaders.
