Core Webinar: 7 Secrets to Getting Staff to Work Together

Date: Tuesday, December 9, 2025

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description:

Teamwork might make the dream work, but it is the teammates who make the
team work. To facilitate effective teamwork, leaders must understand the
nuances of team micro dynamics—small, seemingly inconsequential behaviors
that foster collaboration, communication, and cooperation between
individual team members. This session will explore the concept of creating
a workplace culture where staff value being a part of something bigger than
themselves. Through storytelling, humor, and self-assessment, participants
will discover the seven secrets to creating good teammates. Prepare to exit
with practical takeaways and a rejuvenated sense of purpose. Every
community wins when their library's staff works together!

Learning outcomes:

At the end of this webinar, the attendees will be able to:

   -

   Identify the five key behaviors of a good teammate (Active, Loyal,
   Invested, Viral, and Empathetic).
   -

   Employ effective strategies for confronting toxic team behaviors and
   difficult teammates without disrupting workflow.
   -

   Implement specific terminology that encourages teamwork and facilitates
   a "team-first" mentality.


Who should attend?

The target audience is library and community/board leadership and
management. Also appropriate for general library staff, as it provides an
overarching understanding of how to be a better team member.
