WHAT IF YOUR BIGGEST MANAGEMENT MISTAKE COULD SAVE SOMEONE ELSE FROM MAKING THE SAME ONE?
This unconference gives public library managers a candid, judgment-free space to share management missteps, hard-won lessons, and the strategies that helped you recover and improve. ABOUT THIS COURSEThe best management advice doesn't come from what went right. Live sessions via Zoom: Failures, Fumbles, and Flops: Management Edition is the unconference where library managers get to tell the truth and you get to learn from it. In a peer-driven,informal format, participants will share real stories of management mishaps--hiring mistakes, communication failures, culture missteps, and everything in between--and explore what they learned and what they'd do differently. There are no polished success stories here, just honest practitioners helping each other get better. Come ready to share something real, and leave with the kind of insight you can only get from people who've been there. The live sessions run on May 18, 2027, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm ET (recorded for on demand viewing). For more details, check out the What to Expect tab. Need an invoice or PO?
