CILIP -the UK’s library and information association- believes that “leadership” is not confined to people at the “top” of organizations. Leadership qualities are found at all levels” which is very true.
CILIP is currently hosting a course in leadership entitled “Stepping into leadership”. The program was originally developed as part of the Carnegie Library Lab (CLL), created by the Carnegie UK Trust (CUKT) to encourage creativity, innovation and leadership in public libraries in the UK and Ireland. This course can be accessed by those working in the library and information sector worldwide. The program will help you:
- Increase your understanding of key leadership concepts.
- Encourage you to reflect on your own leadership qualities.
- Help you to develop a personal action plan to improve your effectiveness as a leader.
It consists of the six modules:
- Thinking about Leadership
- Why?
- Power
- Creativity and Innovation
- Change
- Becoming the leader I want to be
There is no deadline for the program, everyone can follow and learn at their own pace and since this is not a formal program, it does not lead to a qualification or certificate.
