Abstract:

"These planners are designed for library leaders who are facing some pretty serious challenges but haven't even had the chance to close their doors, sit back, untangle their issues, and begin to think about how to make things better. Write in this book. Think of it as a combination to-do list, diary, and surrogate hairdresser or bartender (or any other good listener) that can provide you with the space, advice, and the luxury of time to think things through. By the time you've finished all the readings and exercises, you will not have solved your problems. But you will be ready to start solving them -- and you'll have a plan to do so"-- Page ix.

Summary

You're a manager, supervisor, and library leader--but you're still human. And, as social animals, humans tend to shy away from situations that are uncomfortable or even potentially threatening. So it's no wonder that disciplining employees doesn't rank high on anyone's list of favorite job duties. But because negativity can quickly spread, personnel problems cannot be ignored. The good news is that discipline does not have to be a dirty word, and in fact dynamic discipline can go beyond just fixing a problem to making your whole team stronger. Using a combination of readings, exercises, and activities, this planner will guide you through

understanding why we don't like to discipline but why it's so essential; the concept of Improvement Discipline (ID) and how you can use it to overcome your reluctance at confronting someone; "what if" scenarios that will help you prepare for difficult conversations with employees; administering discipline in such a way that it moves beyond censure to positive outcomes; and reflecting on the steps you've taken and those you plan to take in the future.

This planner will ensure that you discipline well by helping you focus on improvement, not punishment.
