Finding the right staff is one of the biggest challenges for all organizations, including libraries. And long term talent management, succession planning, and skill building are right up there in staffing challenges. This session focuses on sizing up the organization to see if it has the right ecosystem (staff and community) for your goals, researching the right steps for building your skills, evaluating teams to see what skills are missing, coaching and mentoring, and other topics to be considered for building the best staff for your community success.
