  • Hiring Librarians podcast

    I joined Emily Weak at the Hiring Librarians podcast in August to talk about how libraries can do a better job of setting new leaders up for success. And how you can set yourself up for success in a new role, if your new library doesn’t provide all of the support you need. We talked about:

    • what coaching is and how it compares to other forms of support
    • what’s the difference between leadership and management
    • what organizations need to do to set up new leadership hires for success
    • and more!
