As the economic condition and consumer sentiment improves, JBH might be able to fully capitalize and book unexpectedly strong growth in the next several years.

On behalf of the management committee, I’d like to express our excitement about the addition of MinaBank to the BankFirst family. We are confident that the acquisition will help to expand our customer base and to increase our profile nationally. Our goal is to merge the abundance of talent and resources to outpace competitors in the ever-changing industry. To achieve this, there will be challenging times ahead that will require all of our patience and endurance in order to ensure the best outcome as we restructure the Minneapolis branches. Unfortunately, the change will result in the elimination of roles in certain areas. We understand the emotional stakes involved with such a change, which is why we want to be transparent throughout the process to lessen any anxiety.
It is our duty to the profession to educate ourselves. We can learn Army doctrine, policy, and regulation by reading. Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) and Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 7-0 will teach us structure and focus how to train.

Our main focus in 2015 will be to reverse the trend of deposit loss into one of growth. Last year was especially difficult for the Needham branch, as only Q2 yielded positive growth. Nearby competitors offering myriad products with superior rates was the main factor for our shrinking deposits in Needham’s rate-sensitive consumer market. In order for us to retain and grow our deposits, it is imperative for us to create value in other ways for our customers.
As an instructional leader I must look to the future. Human resources plays an integral role in this future because they initiate the hiring process, plan new teacher induction, and handle legal issues, to name a few.
My definition of leadership has been influenced by training and education, personal interaction and my belief that a vast majority of people once given direction will produce good work. I believe that leadership is the ability to encourage people to work toward a common goal, by giving them the tools, training and freedom to make that goal a very real possibility. This definition has been shaped over the years by many different people, both inside and outside of the Coast Guard by good and poor leaders. I feel that the one thing that is most important in a leader is their vision. The leaders that I have had that have influenced me the most are always the ones that have been able to show me the end goal up front and then given me the freedom to make that goal, my goal. I have always wanted to be able to my job with as little interference as possible and the best way for me to accomplish this is by my leaders knowing exactly they wanted to have as a final product. With a clear direction, I was able to go about the task knowing what was expected and knowing that if I had questions I was free to ask, if more guidance was needed that it would be given but not with someone breathing down my neck. Being given that chance to handle tasks on my own or with a small team was always the way I thrived as a junior Petty Officer and that continued as I grew throughout the years.

Identification of critical outputs and competencies are also crucial and oriented towards future business strategy rather than the ones distinguished by leaders in the past.

The process involved in developing a leadership competency model, basically identifying the competencies and skills required to produce the outputs earlier identified. Once the crucial competencies have been narrowed down specifically and very clearly then it is depicted graphically in a model that will be shared throughout the organization.
In 1996, Citibank was an emergent banking institution attempting to increase its market share in the competitive Los Angeles area. In order to do so, the bank’s strategy was to focus slightly less on their financial growth, and much more on providing “a high level of service to its customers”. Management viewed this paradigm shift as “critical to the long term success of the franchise”.

It was noted that with the aid of an external consultant, Bank Solutions had their current data center DRBC Plan written down in the year 2007 and was last tested in the same year. The testing was a shallow table-top walkthrough with no intensive assessments to ensure dependability and compliance to industry standard security frameworks. The plan has taken long before being updated hence some elements of the plan may not be addressed wholly as purposed. With an acute increment and unprecedented growth in information technology and security systems over the years, the outdated DRBCP would prove ineffective at the face of an information security breach or a disaster. This is due to the use of outdated elements such as outdated hardware and software.
