OVERVIEW:

This webinar demonstrates the six core themes of true Service Leadership:

  • Vision and Values;
  • Direction;
  • Persuasion;
  • Support;
  • Development;
  • and Appreciation.

Dr. Steve Albrecht will talk about how to take these abstract leadership concepts and operationalize them into concrete approaches, so you can apply them with the people you lead or support in your library.
