Change is often necessary but seldom comfortable.
Nevertheless, library
leaders are expected to be agents of change. In this course
you will learn
a proven approach to the complex process of leading
organizational change,
including
--How to formulate a vision for successful change, anchoring
it in your
library's culture
--Techniques for overcoming the many sources of
organizational inertia that
can stand in the way of change
--How to build commitment by engaging and involving others
in the change
process
--How to motivate the actions needed to alter behavior in a
significant way
This course will prepare you to identify, articulate,
inspire, and develop
necessary changes—and make them "stick" so that
your library can move forward.
Workshop Description: This one-day interactive workshop will
provide
participants with the skills they need to stimulate change
in organizations
and individuals. Students will learn the dynamics of change
and how to
apply a proven model of the large-scale change process.
Through individual
and group exercises, participants will reflect on their own
attitudes and
approach to change, and will learn how to foster a positive
environment for
change within their organizations, so that they can continue
to develop the
best possible services for their users. Participants will
also learn and
practice skills for guiding others through the change
process, identifying
specific activities that will ensure successful change
implementation. All
participants will receive a 5-stage change process model, a
bibliography,
and information about the "next wave" in
organizational development.
