Upcoming Program

Session G | Situational Leadership: Why is This Critical in Academic Libraries Today?
ACRLNEC Annual Conference
Friday, May 18, 2012
Holy Cross College, Worcester MA

Presenters: Melissa Behney (Wesleyan) and Barbara Kenney (Roger Williams).

What's your situation? No matter what your job title, if you’re in an academic library today, leadership opportunities will find you. Whether it’s chairing a search committee, implementing a new technology, developing instruction sessions, approaching campus administrators, or serving in a formal supervisory role, knowing something about your personal leadership style will empower you to take action with confidence. This session will increase your awareness of the leadership styles that a can be employed to affect positive change. Once you know something about these styles, you will begin to recognize the styles used by others and learn to adjust your style depending on the situation. This is the 4th in a series of offerings by ACRL/NEC's new Leadership Development Committee.
