[R3librarians] Monday Motivation #2

[Cindy Franklin]

Librarians,

The first habit of a
highly effective librarian is...

Determine changes
you have the power to make in your library program.

First step:  Be
Proactive


Proactivity
Defined

Proactivity. As human beings we are
responsible for our own lives.

 

    Reactive people are driven by feelings, circumstances, conditions,
the environment. 
    Proactive people are driven by carefully considered, selected and
internalized values. 

Taking the Initiative
Taking the initiative does not mean being pushy, obnoxious, or aggressive.

It does mean recognizing our responsibility to make things happen.

 
Circle of Concern/Circle of Influence
Where do you focus your time and energy?

 

    Proactive people focus their efforts in the Circle of Influence.

    Reactive people focus their efforts in the Circle of Concern.
