NBAA Leadership Affinity Group Session

Encouraging the Heart in Book Access Leadership

Members-Only Session

Leadership is more than strategy—it’s about inspiring and uplifting those around you. In this NBAA Leadership Affinity Group session, we’ll explore the seven essential components of the Encouraging the Heart practice, a research-backed approach to fostering motivation, engagement, and productivity within teams. Together, we’ll discuss how to:

• Set clear standards that align with your organization’s mission
• Expect the best from your team while providing the support they need
• Pay attention to small wins and meaningful efforts
• Personalize recognition to make appreciation more impactful
• Share success stories that reinforce values and purpose
• Celebrate milestones to strengthen team cohesion
• Lead by example to cultivate a positive and inspiring work culture

Join us for an interactive discussion on how book access leaders can build stronger, more motivated teams through encouragement and recognition. Let’s ensure that those who bring books to communities feel just as valued as the readers they serve!
