Managers, it is important to have regular conversations with your employees about their development. All staff, not just librarians and LAs, should be working on their skills and abilities. Here are some questions you can use to start these discussions:
What are one or two areas where your abilities/skills could be stronger? How can we improve your performance in these areas?
What new skills would you like to learn? Why did you select these skills? What types of trainings are available for this skill?
What are your strongest skills/abilities? How have you gotten to this point? Could you share your abilities and teach other staff to be stronger in this area?
What new challenges/duties would you like to add to your job? Why are you interested in these?
Are there positions at the library that you find attractive? Can you connect your job to that job directly? If not, what do you need to learn, and what type of experience do you need to add to your resume?
Where would you like to be, professionally, in the next few years? What skills do you need to acquire or improve to meet this goal?
It is important that you and the employee are both invested in his/her development. Help your employees strengthen their skills and increase their productivity.
