Leadership Strengths and Development
I see myself as an articulate, inclusive leader that has a ability to listen and foster ideas and co-operative decision making with others. I feel that my areas for leadership development are in compellingly articulating our vision, especially in the area of consciously sharing stories. Because of my cirrent position I don't have much experience with media relations or creating relationships with community leaders. I would like to develop my skills in this area. In the area of developing staff, I think I need to focus more on identifying and developing leadership skills in others and giving them projects and feedback to help them improve. As I develop further leadership skills I hope to become more aware of and deliberate in articulating our library vision, helping people in their leadership quest and confidently speak to media and community leaders about the library.
