A couple of weeks ago the Library Leadership Team facilitated our team leaders meeting. It was so good to have Kelly and Abby there from ODU to talk to about the UWS response to the MyVoice survey. They talked about all the MyVoice working groups, which includes the group collaborating with us on the UWS Library MyVoice mentoring program.
It was a good symmetry since we started the mentoring journey meeting with the same team leaders group. I consider myself very lucky to work with such talented leaders. Their generosity in sharing their knowledge is a great leadership example. I find myself wishing that more staff could attend this meeting to hear just how clever these people are.
Leadership can be seen if you're looking for it, and learned if you're willing. From the experiences I'm having doing Inspire and the HDA position I've discovered that a sign of a good leader is not only their ability to step up but their willingness to teach.
