Tony Okotie gave a presentation on leadership to a charity networking event. He discussed that current leadership challenges include doing more with less resources amid austerity cuts. Good leadership means understanding and responding well to challenges by collaborating with others, having a vision and strategy, and celebrating successes. It requires qualities like positivity, humility, and making difficult decisions for the good of the organization. Leaders must have support networks and be willing to admit mistakes while continuing to learn and develop.

This document discusses the changing landscape of infrastructure support for voluntary and community organizations in Tameside, UK from 2013 to 2020.

RDA and Small Libraries: What Will the Challenges Be?Emily Nimsakont
?
This document discusses the challenges small libraries may face in implementing RDA and provides potential solutions. Some key challenges include costs of RDA subscriptions and ILS changes, limited staff and training opportunities. Suggested solutions are group purchases to reduce costs, cheat sheets and concise RDA guides, sharing catalog records, planning ahead with ILS vendors, and taking advantage of training opportunities through cooperation. While not implementing RDA is an option, it could become problematic long term. Careful communication, cooperation and consideration are advised when determining how to proceed with RDA.

A leader guides a team toward a common goal by example, creating an environment where team members are actively involved. To lead effectively, a leader cannot be aloof and must lend a helping hand so their work is clearly understood. Passion and enthusiasm inspire others, though a leader need not be constantly cheery - they must believe in the team's work. Organization is also key, as a disorganized leader breeds disorganization in the team. A leader must communicate goals precisely, provide constructive feedback, and celebrate successes to affirm the team. Effective listening and understanding team members enables a leader to better respond and motivate their team.
