Staff Empowerment Module


Staff Buy-In and How to Make That Happen (at SJPL only)

A 1.5 hour session with a staff member, who was a self-proclaimed nay-sayer at the beginning of the LIBRARIES ~ The San José Way initiative. She discusses why she felt negatively, what you may expect from your own staff, what made her change her mind, and strategies that increased her "buy-in" that you may want to employ with your own staff (or a panel discussion with multiple staff members).

Topics include:

  • Creating a sense of urgency
  • Listening to your staff
  • Fear factor
  • Customer perceptions vs. staff perceptions
  • Coaching
  • Celebrating
  • Continuously improving
