Library Management Skills Institute II: The Organization

The Library Management Skills Institute II: The Organization, offered by the ARL Academy in partnership with DeEtta Jones and Associates, and co-hosted by the University of Texas at Austin Libraries, will take place August 6–8, 2019 at the University of Texas at Austin. The three-day workshop is for supervisors, department heads, coordinators, team and project leaders, and change agents.

Participants will learn through case studies, personal reflection, practical application tools, and group discussions.

• Have a sophisticated understanding of organizational learning and how the associated practices positively impact inclusion, organizational health, positioning, and growth.
• Practice engaging colleagues in processes that clarify vision and create momentum.
• Have practical tools for engaging change in their organizations.
• Have tools for differently approaching long-standing problems.
• Increase empathy related to different roles in the organization, and act as a bridge across stakeholder groups.
