Leap into Leadership in 2008!

What are you doing with your extra day in 2008, February 29? Would you like to spend it participating in an introductory leadership workshop, whilst being exposed to the knowledge and wisdom of many leaders in the library and information industry? A group of fellow Victorian Aurorians have put together a cost recovery workshop for you to, “Leap into Leadership” that allows you to gain an experience to drive your leadership learning further. The workshop will be led by distinguished Victorian based facilitator Greg Cook, who has conducted leadership training for the State Library of Victoria and various Public Library Services across Victoria. There will be a panel session where some noteable (to be announced soon) leaders from a variety of library sectors will share their personal insights on leadership with you. The aims of the workshop are to:

• provide a framework to assist participants to identify their own leadership styles;
• provide role models by having a panel of highly experienced leaders talk about their leadership;
• provide opportunity for participants to work in small groups to discuss and consolidate their learning with the support of experienced leaders.

The workshop is aimed at participants who are new to leadership and wish to develop their leadership style. This is a rare opportunity to learn about leadership with respected industry leaders and a highly qualified facilitator. Librarians, Library Technicians, recent graduates and students from ALL sectors are encouraged to participate. Other important details:
