Ch-ch-ch-changes
Change happens
Constant
Healthy
Responsive
“How” and “why” changes
![Page 3: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Change barriers
Necessary, unavoidable, immediate results
Perspectives of evolution and revolution
External and internal
Change for change’s sake
Not until we’re good and ready
![Page 4: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Where do you come in?
Accommodate and create
Tools
Roles
Inspiration (and singing and dancing)

Today’s Metaphor: Have you seen the show?
![Page 6: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Extreme Makeover Home Edition: The Basics
A needy family is selected The design team puts a plan together The family goes on vacation for one week Hundreds of construction workers and
volunteers tear the house down and rebuild it ABC, Sears, et al., foot the bill The new home is unveiled to the family Joy ensues

Suspend your disbelief
Questions linger about EMHE
Overkill?
Property taxes?
Resale?
Affordable housing?
![Page 8: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Truths from the tube
Does any of this apply to libraries?
8 aspects from EMHE – not chronological
What if we pursued change in our libraries as though it worked like this?
What if our libraries really did work like this?
![Page 9: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1 – 2 – 3 . . .
Unbelievable!
![Page 10: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Assess your needs
EMHE: the family makes a video and writes out their story
Clearly state what you want to do
Focus on what is needed
Brainstorm as though from outside
![Page 11: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
One person’s library . . .
![Page 12: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
. . . is not the next person’s . . .
![Page 13: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
. . . or the next person’s.
![Page 14: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Visions of sugar plums danced in their heads
Many visionaries
Shared vision ≠ uniform vision
Consensus
What if your library could come up with a vision that everyone rallied around?
![Page 15: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1 – 2 – 3 . . .
Unbelievable!
![Page 16: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Prepare your environment
EMHE: Often total destruction is required (and shown to family)
Starting from scratch?
Clear preconceptions; open possibilities
Mindsets are just as important as logistics
![Page 17: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1 – 2 – 3 . . .
Unbelievable!
![Page 18: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. Change should preserve
EMHE: an item from the home is preserved or given greater emphasis in the new home
The baby and the bathwater
Extension, addition, improvement
“Googlezon, Robots, RFID, and Ranganathan”
![Page 19: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1 – 2 – 3 . . .
Unbelievable!
![Page 20: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. Effort inspires effort
EMHE: ABC & Sears foot most of the bill, but others pitch in to volunteer/fund
One person’s effort inspires others
Be open to another’s enthusiasm
We might be surprised at sources of support that open up as we make a change
![Page 21: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1 – 2 – 3 . . .
Unbelievable!
![Page 22: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
5. Deeper impact
EMHE: what happens to one house can be mirrored in the neighborhood (or might last beyond the taping of the show)
Impact on our patrons
Campus collaborations
Library partnerships
![Page 23: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1 – 2 – 3 . . .
Unbelievable!
![Page 24: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
6. Changes have an expiration date
EMHE: Seven day deadline to change everything
What’s the rush?
Will meaningfulness last?
What if we could focus and act on a change in a timely manner?
![Page 25: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1 – 2 – 3 . . .
Unbelievable!
![Page 26: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
7. Share input, responsibility, and trust
EMHE: design team has a leader (Ty) but everyone has a role and a voice in the outcome (family goes on vacation)
The “secret room”
We are family: trust and support
What if we listened to one another and believed our individual role mattered?
![Page 27: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1 – 2 – 3 . . .
Unbelievable!
![Page 28: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
8. Communicate clearly
EMHE: bullhorn at the beginning and end, but lots of talking in between (and practical jokes)
Coworkers, community, partners
Choose methods that work for you (humor?)
What if those around you (and you) felt like you were “in the know”?
![Page 29: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
1 – 2 – 3 . . .
Unbelievable!
![Page 30: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Roles to remember
Play your part (but no pigeonholing!)
Reporting a need for change? Designing a solution? Working on your piece? Supporting and cheerleading? Making sure everything comes together? Building positively on the end result?
![Page 31: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Tools to take away
Assess your needs Prepare your environment Change should preserve Effort inspires effort Deeper impact Changes have an expiration date Share input, responsibility, and trust Communicate clearly
![Page 32: Extreme Makeover – Library Edition: Roles and Tools for Positive Workplace Changes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5681533c550346895dc159b5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Getting to “The Reveal”
The end . . . or the beginning?
Use the tools
Follow your role(s)
A “laugh-a-minute” experience
Concentrate on the greater good

Mr. Bus Driver, Move That Bus!
