One of the library’s most important assets is its staff; however, we often wait a full year to give them feedback on their work. Anoka County (MN) Library recently switched to a coaching model, which included writing new work outcome statements for all staff and training supervisors to be coaches. Supervisors now meet with staff regularly to review progress on goals and improve performance, gather ideas on training needs and more.
