Kia ora koutou,
After this afternoon’s staff meeting, and the suggestion from Helen that we put on our thinking caps about how better to manage bottom-up communication channels, I’d like to put something together for it, having had my dainty shoes in both camps.
Many of you might have your own comments to make, and I’d encourage you to do that (to Helen, I guess?) but if you want to have your say with a little anonymity, can you send your comments to me before the end of this Friday 12 June, please? I’ll collate them, and mash them together to try to make a constructive conversation-starter on how we can enable more and better bottom-up communication, and/or what might help with the ways top-down communication is handled in the library.
What are the issue for you at the moment in terms of how we’re communicating between levels? What do you want the management team to know?
Thanks!
Brian
Thanks for volunteering to put this together, Brian. Yes, I would welcome comments and thoughts – feel free to send these to me directly or via your manager… whichever you feel more comfortable with.
Yesterday’s Staff Forum did make me realise that there is a need for more clarity about the thinking which has been going on about the Library of the Future. Discussion with all Library staff on our direction is needed and I’d be really keen for thoughts on what people would like that discussion to cover and the best way to facilitate this so everyone has a chance to feed in.
