30 Nov. 2020 – Webinar: New challenges and leading into the Post-COVID-19 Recovery for Research Libraries

This webinar is the second of the 2-part webinar series “Leadership in Times of Crisis” organized by LIBER Leadership Programmes Working Group. COVID-19 has created a new reality for leaders. They had to address the discomfort and fear caused by the pandemic overnight and think creatively of solutions in the moment of crisis.

Research Libraries, like other organizations, are facing hard choices around which services to offer to minimize the risk to their staff, communities and business operations.

Flexible leaders who can adapt and guide organizations and staff, offer hope, build communities and see new possibilities are needed more than ever. This webinar series provides an opportunity to learn about what other peer leaders are doing and exchange views to learn from each other. In the second webinar, speakers will share their experience on communicating with teams. How can leaders create clarity, build resilience, and catalyze positive change? We end the webinar by presenting new challenges likely to occur in the Post-COVID-19 Recovery period.
