"Ten Tools for the (New) Library Supervisor: Starting Out Right"
Part of a special Library 2.0 series with Dr. Steve Albrecht
OVERVIEW:
A 60-minute training webinar presented by Library 2.0 and hosted by ALA author and library service, safety, and security expert, Dr. Steve Albrecht.
Being a supervisor, especially if you are new to the role, can be a bit overwhelming. A lot of the skills and knowledge you need for your new role you were expected to pick up through OJT (“On The Job Training”) during your old role. Your life skills (talking, sharing, and interacting with people) and your work experiences (finishing projects, solving problems, serving others, meeting deadlines) as a library staffer are useful as you transition to being a supervisor, up to a point. You need new skills to meet the challenges of getting people to do what you ask, on time, and with the quality you expect.
Consider these ten tools as the ones most needed for your early and ongoing success:
- Creating Accountability and Responsibility
- Delegation
- Project Planning
- Internal and External Service Skills
- Coaching and Training
- Running Effective Meetings
- Budget Knowledge and Fiscal Discipline
- Recordkeeping
- Time Management
- Praise and Performance Evaluation
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Meeting the needs of your boss (who might not be your old boss).
- The challenge of supervising colleagues who are your friends (or not your friends).
- Understanding the financial aspects of your job.
- Knowing the legal and HR-related issues of your job.
- Managing projects, people, and outcomes means you got to get and stay organized and time-efficient.
