LILRC Webinar: Your Management Philosophy

September 13, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

Your Management Philosophy [Session 1]

Before you can craft overarching HR philosophies for your organization, you need to know who you are as a manager. Participants will learn how to determine what their management values are and how their values relate to the library’s values before crafting a management philosophy statement.

Laying the Foundation: Developing Your HR Philosophies

Personnel is usually over 50% of a library’s budget, but few libraries have dedicated HR professionals navigating the ins and outs of HR. In this 4-part series, participants will learn how to lay a foundation for what type of manager they want to be and how to create an HR philosophy for their library that aligns with their library’s mission, vision, and values. This program is the first in a four part series, all of which can be attended as a stand alone or as a continuous learning experience.
