Do you feel you have leadership potential but wonder how to leverage it? Are you already a leader and looking for ways to grow? Or do you simply wonder what the heck people mean when they talk about leadership? This interactive session is relevant to all! You will use a basic model that illuminates key aspects of leadership to identify your unique leadership strengths. Then plan to show up with behaviors and intentions that develop you as a leader. Feel more empowered to use your natural leadership attributes regardless of your position in the library.
After this workshop, participants will:
• know the essential attributes of emergent leadership
• have a clearer understanding of their own leadership strengths and areas of growth
• have a plan for how to use their leadership strengths with more intention in their work
Discover Your Leadership Style and Plan to Use It!
