In our fast-paced libraries, workplace burnout is all too common.  Add to that the stressors of the coronavirus pandemic and it can feel like almost like an inevitability. While we have no magic bullet to prevent or immediately banish burnout, it can be effectively minimized and prevented via recognition, skilled communication, job crafting, and building alignment between each employee’s work and values. Library administrators as well as those not in supervisory roles can have meaningful results using this unique approach.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will learn:

-What burnout is and how to recognize it in oneself and others

-How to apply values exploration to respond to and prevent burnout

-How to apply job crafting techniques to respond to and prevent burnout

-How to foster a culture of trust and autonomy in your workplace as a leader or administrator

 

This webinar addresses several of LLAMA's Foundational Leadership Competencies including: communication skills, problem solving, and team building.
