This year the Leadership & Management Division (LMD) helped sponsor Ned Potter, a winner of the SLA Europe’s Early Career Conference Award (ECCA.) Ned is an Academic Liaison Librarian at the University of York in the UK and was recently named a 2011 Movers and Shakers by Library Journal. LJs profile of Ned gives a fascinating look at a person who is very “inspiring, confident, clear-thinking, and worth listening to.” Ned created a great video of his personal impressions of the SLA Conference and LMD.
The Leadership & Management Division has co-sponsored a deserving recipient of the SLA Europe’s ECCA beginning in 2009. Previous award winners include:
If you are unfamiliar with Slideshare.net, which is where I found this slideshow, you should investigate it.

The theme for this month is learning. I decided to look at YouTube for videos about learning and then decided to look for videos on learning style. Have you thought about the learning styles of those around you? Those on your team? Or your own learning style? Take less than 10 minutes and watch these two videos. They may not answer the questions you have about learning styles but they will give you much to think about.
If you haven’t seen it, this video of Randy Pausch’s "last lecture" will inspire you and give you things to consider about leadership, while you’re listening to him talk about his childhood dreams, enabling the dreams of others, and lessons learned. (1 hr., 16 min.)
Randy Pausch, Ph.D. was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. In 2006, Pausch was diagnosed with incurable cancer and he died earlier this year. This "last lecture" is humorous, informational, and inspiring. His life was full of lessons the we can learn from, with perhaps the biggest lesson being that you never know what is possible (i.e., the sky is the limit).
While I know nothing about the group that produced this, this trailer speaks volumes. If they can get along, we should be able to get along with….(you fill-in the blank).
