The San Bernardino County Library believes in fostering employee engagement through training and development. As our system continues to grow and develop, the training needs of our staff have also changed. Because we cover a large geographic area, there is a need for consistency in leadership across our system. The main objective in providing Leadership Training is to give staff the opportunity to grow and develop as a manager. Leadership Training is a six (6) month course covering various topics that outline the responsibilities of lead staff members. There are a variety of leadership topics that are covered at each training session. Each session combines instruction/lecture components and a variety of practical exercises including role play scenarios, small group activities, an open forum for sharing experiences, and question and answer sessions.
