We’ll be exploring topics related to leadership during the month of May and who better than George to get us started. He’s been mentor and optimistic leader to many in the WebJunction community including a 5 year stint as I’m Curious George.
Join us for a free webinar, Accidental Leadership with George Needham on May 5 at 2:00 Eastern:
Leadership may not be something every library staff member aspires to, but in many cases, leadership is thrust upon the accidental leader unexpectedly. How do you find the internal and external resources you need to lead? What do you do when you’re younger than the people you are supposed to lead? How do you exercise authority without becoming either a tyrant or a pushover? Drawing on nearly 40 years of library experience, George will present some anecdotes, some strategies, some practical advice, and, hopefully, a few laughs as he explores this deeply personal subject.
He’s also teamed up with Joan Frye Williams and the pair continue to inspire regularly via Infopeople podcasts and *also next week*, an Infopeople webinar, George and Joan on Successful Middle Management.
