In this episode, I will show you how you can create results that matter—those that impact profitability through visibility systems.

Does the sun rise in the east?

The 7 Habits of Highly Successful Community Bank Managers

But your board does not want to hear it, and you know that your days of peaceful existence as an executive are coming to an end…unless you get your management team to perform to the expectations—and they get all of THEIR people to perform.

If an Opportunity Falls in Your Lap, Are You Ready?

The coming bank consolidation isn’t a surprise. It’s been predicted for years. In fact, the next 18 months are destined to be a major “shake out” period when weak banks will be acquired or closed—and banks that are in a position to capture the best customers in town will become stronger and more profitable.
