 \n\n\nDescription\n\nTeams are an increasingly important workplace 
 construct\, allowing libraries to tap into staff potential to tackle 
 complex work in our current\, dynamic library environment. The combined 
 talent\, experience\, and diversity of teams create the potential for 
 greater problem-solving and effective work than individual-focused work 
 goals\, yet teams often struggle to succeed. Leading teams can be 
 challenging. Team leaders may not have previous experience leading teams or 
 management training. They often lead teams made up of members from across 
 the library – not just direct reports--and potentially across multiple 
 departments or organizations. Team effectiveness requires creating the 
 right conditions for team success. This interactive session will introduce 
 participants to the concept of team effectiveness and how to maximize team 
 success by designing\, supporting\, and leading effective teams. 
 Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on a current team\, 
 considering key elements that lead to effectiveness\, and engage in a case 
 scenario to begin to apply what they have learned.\n\n\n\nLearning 
 Outcomes\n\nAt the end of the webinar\, attendees will: -\n\n\n	Identify 
 key factors that contribute to team effectiveness in library 
 settings.\n	Develop strategies to create an inclusive and supportive team 
 culture.\n	Reflect on leadership that inspires and motivates 
 teams.\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nThis workshop would be valuable for 
 anyone leading or aspiring to lead teams in a library or library-adjacent 
 setting. It will provide a reflective approach applicable to teams of all 
 types\, along with practical ideas for real-life 
 scenarios.\n\n\n\nPresenter\n\nColleen Cuddy\, PhD\, MLS\, MA\, is an 
 academic and researcher specializing in Organizational Development and Team 
 Science. She is the Director of Research and Academic Collaboration at Lane 
 Medical Library\, Stanford School of Medicine. Dr. Cuddy strives to 
 understand and improve the dynamics of team interactions and organizational 
 structures within academic and clinical research settings by advancing and 
 applying Team Science. Her work integrates a variety of methodologies to

 innovation.\n\n\n\nAccessibility Information\n\nIf you have questions or
