You don’t have to be a leader to lead; you just need to understand and exemplify the values of your organization. In this conference session, panelists will discuss how true leadership doesn’t necessarily come from hierarchy. True leaders represent efforts to better the organization but also the individuals within that organization. Panelists will share examples of what that looks like from around the field.

Learning Objectives:

Share leadership strategies for middle managers
Examine how good leaders prioritize EDI efforts and use accountability to move the work forward
Discuss what leadership looks like in different types of libraries
