How to Lead Your Library, Part Three: Evaluation

The myriad forces pulling on your library can stretch you thin, fracture focus, and weaken your ability to accomplish your goals. But what should your top priorities be? James Matarazzo and Toby Pearlstein want to help your library find balance and establish priorities for a successful future.

Pulling from their years of experience in leadership and management positions, James and Toby outline evaluation strategies and big-picture perspectives to bring to your library’s complex decision-making. Their webinar will discuss:

  • Major forces that demand balance
  • Establishing your library's priorities
  • Frameworks for evaluating performance and demonstrating contribution
