From first-year first-semester student workers to long-time staff members, everyone brings with them unique perspectives, skills, and life experiences to their work in academic libraries. Through the lens of Authentic Leadership, new and seasoned supervisors will learn practical strategies to engage and motivate all levels of staff, breathe fresh life and innovations into routine duties, and cultivate authentic staff relationships that are founded on strengths, collaboration, and innovation. When you genuinely support and encourage the people you supervise to bring their personal interests and experiences into the workplace, you build towards a culture of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility. Through transparent, collaborative decision-making, you invite varying viewpoints that allow you and your staff to learn from each other and, in turn, better meet and anticipate the multifaceted needs of the patrons you serve.
