Credit Union Leaders

?? Self-doubt can take a leader down the wrong roads. What we may not be paying attention to is that others view our potential with intimidation. Check your self-doubt at the door and understand your potential. Make sure you have mentors and coaches who see your potential and help you tap it. ?? Are you maximizing your potential? #selfdoubt #leader #leaders #potential #mentors #coaches #maximize #creditunion #creditunions

?? Leadership is a privilege. Remember, your influence not only affects your direct reports career trajectories, but often their lives. ?? Do you possess that leadership awareness? #leadership #influence #career #awarenessmatters #leaders #creditunions #creditunion

?? Leaders understand and manage retention strategies. The HR manager in this story below understands the "costs" of retaining great employees. The costs are less when we keep staff rather than replacing them. ?? Do you have a retention strategy? #leaders #managementskills #strategies #retentionstrategy #leadership #creditunions #creditunion

?? Leadership is emotional intelligence. As Leaders, we need to know when to lead with our heart and when to lead with our head. We have to be smart with both decisions and people. ?? How is your emotional intelligence? #leadership #emotionalintelligence #heart #head #smart #creditunions #creditunion #leaders

?? Leadership at times can be grueling and unforgiving. Remember, that as a leader, you will give more than you receive. Knowing that you are growing others is the economic metric. ?? How are you staying the course with giving more than you receive? #leadership #leaders #givehope #receive #growingteam #creditunions #creditunion

?? Sometimes as leaders our motivation wanes. Being driven and focused can last for a season, but we do have to come up for air. And that air is discipline. When motivation is absent, discipline should kick in. Discipline helps us get things done. It helps us finish the project or strategy. ?? So, is discipline a part of your leadership tool belt? #leaders #motivation #disciplined #leadership #creditunions #creditunion

?? Great leaders do not let the "bad" events define or destroy them. Great leaders let the "bad" strengthen them! ?? Is it define, destroy, or strengthen for you? #leaders #bad #define #destroy #strengthen #leadership #creditunions #creditunion

?? Listening has become a lost art! Everyone wants to be listened to. Especially your direct reports. Taking the time to listen elevates your leadership and gives hope to the one communicating with you. ?? How are you building respect? #listeningskills #elevate #hope #leadership #leaders #communicationiskey #respect #creditunions #creditunion

?? Making daily work and strategy work requires leaders to be more efficient, which helps your direct reports manage the flow. What feedback are you receiving from your team? Are you making the work better to perform, or making it more difficult for them? ?? What is your success story? #workflow #strategymanagement #flowcontrol #feedbackmatters #leaders #leadership #creditunions #creditunion

? Strategic leaders have learned the discipline of not letting a thought ruin their day. You know how it goes, you begin to obsess over some real or imagined thought and you cannot get it out of your mind. As you are obsessing, the priorities of the day get pushed to the side. Your direct reports think you may have "checked out!" ?? How do you keep from letting a thought ruin your day? #strategicleadership #leaders #leadershipinsights #disciplined #creditunions #creditunion
