We often celebrate our leadership successes, but what about our leadership failures? At this year's IG Week session, we'll be featuring leaders who'll present lightning talks sharing their fails with our supportive community. Here's the line up so far:
Cinthya Ippoliti, "Building partnerships: How to approach making new connections"- Cinthya will discuss ways (not) to reach out to new partners and establish strong relationships.
Erik Nordberg, "Bad Hiring Decisions: The Buck Stops Here" - Library leaders and managers are responsible for hiring faculty, staff, and student workers. The HR "Wheel of Misfortune" guarantees we'll each make some colossal mistakes. What have we learned that we can share with others to avoid hiring pitfalls?
Lori Birrell, "Words Matter: Learning the Language of Your New Department" - The specific terms we use to refer to areas of work, individual's responsibilities, and job titles matter. Lori will share her experience and the lessons learned.
Interested in giving a lightning talk? We're looking for folks who would like to share their experience. If you are interested, email Lori Birrell (lori@birrell.us) to learn more.
Mark your calendars for the Leadership and Management IG week session at 1pm Central on Monday, March 3rd.
