HR Director

The LMSI 1 really provided me with a toolbox of basic skills to put to use in my new position. I like the fact that the various tools and strategies that we learned can be implemented gradually, either singly or in combination. I am looking forward to our unit's first meeting next month, where I will be the facilitator and have my first opportunity to try them out!

Manager

I was surprised how much I learned from the course! Some of it included information that I knew beforehand, but it was framed in such a way that made me really want to develop what I knew into intentional leadership skills. I tend to be reactive vs intentional and this course provided many tools (and a lot of grace!) for helping me switch my mindset to intentionality.

Who should take this course?

LMSI 1: The Manager is designed for current and aspiring managers in libraries and related organizations who want to strengthen their leadership and management skills. It’s especially valuable if you’re navigating new responsibilities, leading diverse teams, or looking for practical tools to improve communication, decision-making, and trust.

How long is this course and what is the format?

The course runs for 3 weeks and is delivered fully online. It combines:

  • Synchronous learning: four live virtual sessions (9 hours total) facilitated by DJA faculty.

  • Asynchronous learning: 7–9 hours of videos, exercises, and reflection activities you complete on your own schedule.

How does LMSI 1 compare to LMSI 2?

LMSI 1: The Manager focuses on the individual as a leader—building emotional intelligence, facilitative leadership, feedback skills, and decision-making. LMSI 2: The Organization builds on that foundation, focusing more on organizational culture, systems, and leading change. Many participants choose to take both in sequence for a comprehensive development path.

What types of organizations typically

LMSI alumni come from academic libraries, public libraries, special libraries, and consortia, as well as related cultural and educational institutions. Because the skills are universally applicable, participants also join from non-library organizations looking for strong management foundations in inclusive leadership.

What if I can't attend a live session?

We strongly encourage attending live to get the most benefit, but we know schedules can be unpredictable. All live sessions are recorded, and you’ll have access to the recordings if you miss a session or want to review it again.

What do I get access to after the course?

You’ll have access to all recordings, tools, and resources for 6 months after the program ends. Many participants revisit the templates and videos as they apply the concepts in real time with their teams.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. Participants who complete the program receive a virtual certificate of completion, which can be shared on résumés and LinkedIn profiles.

Do you offer group rates?

Yes. Organizations often send multiple managers through the program to build a shared leadership language and culture. Group discounts are available—please contact deetta@deettajones.com for details.
