It’s no secret that the credit union industry thrives on collaboration and working toward the common goal of bettering members’ lives. The most successful cooperatives thrive because of the tone set at the top of the organization.

Are you new to a leadership role or preparing for one? Are you focused on empowering future leaders? Are you a veteran leader looking to be inspired?

We recently asked new and established leaders what it means to embrace different leadership styles, encourage culture changes, and what advice they have for the next generation of leaders. Along with those insights, they’ve also shared reflections on the value they get from Callahan’s Roundtables, and why they keep coming back for more.
