The Ohio Council of CUES hosted an educational meeting in early May featuring Michael Hudson, Ph.D., president of Credit Union Strategy in Rehoboth Beach, Del. Hudson is a quotable guy, and gave attendees a great deal to think about.
So you can have a similar experience to attendees, here are 10 quotes from Hudson's session. What does each make you think about? What actions does each make you think about taking?
- Hire people for who they are, not what they can do.
- Look for the game changer.
- Eliminate the negatives; change the conversation to “How can we make it happen?"
- What are the things you can let go of to give yourself more time to do what you need to do?
- A good leader walks the floor every day and engages with employees.
- Rely on good products—memberships will come.
- Find one thing and do that better than anyone else.
- Brand is not logo, color or name; it’s the promise.
- People live up or down based on the expectation you give them.
- Are your leaders managing or coaching?
