What are the essential competencies that future library professionals will need as individuals, as team members, as members of a university, and as citizens? What are the personal and organizational competencies to guide their education and professional development to become proficient in these competencies? This article will detail the process by which a group of thinkers and doers came together to identify these essential competencies and develop a toolkit to help both new and seasoned academic library professionals prepare for their future. This group was comprised of ten library professionals from eight institutions and three members of brightspot strategy, a higher education strategic consultancy with extensive experience planning library services, staffing, and spaces. The toolkit we created -- called LibGOAL -- is a card sort planning activity for teams of library professionals to help them identify, discuss, and align their priorities for future personal and organizational growth. In this article, we will define the problem we set out to solve, summarize our environmental scan of competency frameworks outside of and within the library world, explain our initial competencies and how we organized them into categories, recount the development of the card sort activity, share the lessons from initial testing and outreach, and identify our next steps to create an open and free community resource.
