Leading From the Middle

Do you have more than one boss at your library? Do you have lots of responsibility, but little authority? Are you working between multiple departments? Are you looking to improve your communication skills with your managers and your direct reports? If so, this webinar can help you communicate better and manage up, and down.

In this program, participants will learn about:

• Communication techniques for communicating with upper management and employees
• Prioritizing tasks and setting goals
• Performance evaluation strategies: How to better give and receive feedback
• Time management concerns: How to organize and prioritize your time to meet multiple (and sometimes competing) goals

Instructor: Carrie Rogers-Whitehead is the founder and CEO of Digital Respons-Ability, a mission-based company that educates tens of thousands of students, parents and teachers through in-person and online courses across the country. She has written two books for librarians around adolescents: Teen Fandom and Geek Programming: a Practical Guide for Librarians and the ALA-award winning Serving Teens and Adults and the Autism Spectrum: a Guide for Libraries and continues to work with teens.
