Description: The past two years changed so much in our industry, more managers are choosing to retire or reduce their hours, which in turn creates exciting new openings. Here we will examine closely the excitement, reward and yes the pitfalls and demands that come from transition from coworker to supervisor. Group discussions will focus on internal promotions and upward mobility. Also encouraged to attend are coworkers looking to support peers as they move into Supervisory and Leadership roles, as well as Managers and Directors who want to ensure that recognizing potential and promoting from within will maintain healthy dynamics within the library. With an emphasis on the positive effect of clear equitable mentoring and network activities we will share tips and strategies to build diverse, inclusive and empowered leadership. We will focus on new networks, how to set and maintain a professional tone as well as how to manage the balance between old relationships with new responsibilities.

    Presenters:

    Resa Mai is the Director of Morris Area Public Library in Morris, Illinois. I enjoy the challenge and flexibility of our library world. It is exciting that we are no longer nouns, we are verbs. My approach to supporting my staff and patrons is to ensure that we are action verbs. We are growing, learning, exciting and empowering. As a Director I focus on supporting and enriching my staff and my community. As a Mentor I am teaching and engaging. As a Community member I embrace the opportunity for learning and refining.
    Living by and believing in the Socratic method I encourage the asking and answering of questions support our assumptions and draw out new ideas.
