Libraries and professional organizations commonly use committees and
teams to manage projects, yet all too often promising initiatives
flounder or fizzle because team ground rules, expectations, and
timelines aren’t articulated from the get-go. Incorporating
self-management principles can help you and your group move past
inaction and towards a more productive and efficient working
relationship. In this four-week class, we will look at some of the
literature on team productivity, draft realistic work plans and
timelines, and discuss techniques for navigating interpersonal conflict,
articulating individual responsibilities, and incorporating rolling
assessments in order to stay on track and bring projects in on time.
This workshop is designed so that team members and leaders alike receive
the tools and space necessary to navigate and explore the nitty-gritty
of working together successfully, whether success means managing up,
managing laterally, or managing down, in order to achieve a shared goal.
