Do you have more than one boss at your library? Do you have lots of responsibility, but little authority? Are you working between multiple departments? Are you looking to improve your communication skills with your managers and your direct reports? If so, this webinar can help you communicate better and manage up, and down.

In this program, participants will learn about:

  • Communication techniques for communicating with upper management and employees
  • Prioritizing tasks and setting goals
  • Performance evaluation strategies: How to better give and receive feedback
  • Time management concerns: How to organize and prioritize your time to meet multiple (and sometimes competing) goals

This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.
