16. What is a Professional Relationship?
Definition
“A professional relationship is an ongoing interaction between
two people that observes a set of established boundaries
or limits that is deemed appropriate under governing ethical
standards. Establishing proper professional relationships
is the backbone of career development.”
[https://www.reference.com/business-finance/professional-relationship-5d2d62d08b51f875]

17. Sustainable Strategies
Personalvs.Professional
This type of relationship is about helping
the other person get ahead in their career.
“Our professional relationships are forged in
service of our professional goals, whereas our
personal relationships arise out of our basic
human need for love, connection and belonging.”

24. Conversations and the Foundations
for Talking to Management
1. Management has very little so-called "spare"
time—just like you!
2. Management cannot easily make time to read a
long report, absorb key points, and make
connections to overall priorities and strategies.
3. Management often has different
communication and learning styles than those
found in staff, librarians, and systems folk.
25
25. 5 Key Tips for: Talkingto Management
1. Use powerful vocabulary. Action verbs are more powerful than
other verbs. Avoid jargon—especially product names or systems
and library jargon. But do use their jargon.
2. Couch the message in terms that they care about. WIIFT—what's
in it for them?
3. Don't be defensive. You're not defending the library or
technology. You're building support for a vision and trying to
influence priorities. Frame rebuttals as requests for more
information.
4. Don't focus on money and budget increases or cuts. Focus on
priorities that connect to institutional mandates, objectives,
missions, and visions. Money follows priority strategies.
5. Focus on measurements, not statistics; impact, not effort;
outcomes, not processes. Money and strategy follow a
successful vision that engages.

28. So, concluding on implementation. . .
• Do some “lite” research
• Have 3 conversations a day
• Set aside time for reflection
• Schedule key meetings and coffees/teas
• Share yourself
• Listen: You’ve got two ears and one mouth.
That’s the ratio!

Ensure you have a current organizational chart. Make a “real” one.
Draw a relationship chart of the library and its constituent
users/groups. Who are the opinion leaders and connectors?
Build a CRM by searching key users’ profiles on the web
(Profiles, LinkedIn, FB, Twitter, etc.)
Start to develop your target list—book your top three
coffee breaks this week!
30. 31
Add the webinars to your calendars
(or watch them later)
So watch for the book in early 2018!
