Transformational Leadership:
Morphing Into a Mentor | Mark Arnold

One of Three "Idea Exchange" Sessions

“Everything rises and falls on leadership,” writes author John Maxwell. The challenge for many credit unions, however, is that too many supervisors are managers and not leaders.

Whether it is a teller supervisor, branch manager, vice president or even “chief,” all organizations need not just managers, but leaders/mentors. As a credit union executive, Mark gives practical ideas on how to transform yourself from a business manager into a leader and mentor.

This session covers:

• The difference between managers and leaders/mentors;
• Staff development techniques;
• Cultivating your staff’s strengths;
• Mentoring tips and tactics; and
• Creating a mentoring culture.

Planned activities include:

• Idea sharing;
• Real life scenarios;
• Q & A;
• Worksheets;
• Interactive exercises;
• Group Discussions; and
• Handouts.
