Eu fiz o curso de Desenvolvimento Executivo em Liderança de Bibliotecas (Avançado) na Stanmore School of Business e foi uma experiência muito útil. O conteúdo do curso foi bem estruturado e me ajudou a alcançar meus objetivos de aprendizado, especialmente em relação à gestão de equipes e desenvolvimento de habilidades de liderança. A parte prática do curso, como a criação de um plano de ação para melhorar a gestão da biblioteca, foi muito interessante e me deu muitas ideias para implementar no meu trabalho. Os materiais do curso foram de boa qualidade, mas achei que alguns tópicos poderiam ser mais aprofundados. No geral, estou satisfeito com a experiência de aprendizado e recomendo o curso para quem busca se desenvolver como líder em bibliotecas.

I enrolled in the Executive Development Program in Library Leadership (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business with the objective of enhancing my leadership skills and knowledge in library management. The course content was comprehensive and well-structured, covering key topics such as library strategy, leadership development, and innovation management. I found the course materials to be of high quality, with relevant case studies and examples that helped illustrate the concepts. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided valuable feedback on our assignments. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more international perspectives and examples, as the course was somewhat focused on Western contexts. Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with my learning experience and would recommend this course to library professionals seeking to advance their careers.
