QUESTIONS

We post the questions here in advance of the chat so you can decide whether or not this topic is of interest to you and/or prepare your answers in advance.

Q1 What skills do you think make someone a good and effective leader? Do you think being a good leader is the same as being a good manager?

Q2 What resources do you use in order to build your leadership skills at work?

Q3 What resources do you use to build your leadership skills outside of work?

Q4 Do you think that library schools are doing enough to help produce good and effective library leaders? How would you have them change if not?
