"Team Success: Better Results Through Focused Team Building, Internal Support, Clear Communication, and Conflict Resolution"
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.

There are four core themes to team success in the library environment:

• We take care of each other here. Team-building is about focusing on creating and applying the tools and techniques that individual employees and workgroups need to be successful.
• Our library will not tolerate behaviors from employees, managers, or supervisors that can harm a functioning, productive team, create a hostile work environment, or make it difficult for our co-workers to do their work safely and successfully. Bosses need to step in and initiate solutions when employees or teams are not getting along, using a structured process.
• We have external service relationships with our patrons and internal service relationships with our co-workers, and both are important and need to be maintained and balanced throughout our workday. However, sometimes the internal service focus doesn’t get much attention until there are problems with our workgroups.
• Even high-functioning teams need guidance, support, and reminders to help them meet, work, problem-solve, and thrive. The tools from this webinar can help.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Defining our teamwork culture in the library. What makes a successful team?
• An employee conflict resolution process for managers and supervisors.
• The four-step process to set team Ground Rules.
• Using direct, non-personal, immediate feedback, not criticism.
• Developing a personal behavioral motto.
• The need for Social Intelligence.
• Using the P.I.N. tool for more productive meetings (What’s Positive-Interesting-Negative?).
• Using the Keep/Stop/Start exercise to grow group success.
• The power of praise.
