Description
This session presents practical strategies for engaging all employees in the strategic planning process. The presenter will showcase a bottom-up approach in which employees outside formal leadership roles led the development of the library's mission, vision, values, goals, and objectives, using input from every staff member. The session will also highlight employee reflections on the process, illustrating both its successes and areas for improvement. Attendees will receive templates and materials to adapt this framework, ensuring that all voices are represented and that strategic initiatives truly reflect the perspectives of the entire organization.
