The 21 st Century is screaming for such leaders. Credit Unions must focus on inspiring the development of such leaders if they are to effectively face the challenges of the future. Quality and qualified leaders are always in demand. Leaders by definition are innovators. They do things other people haven't done or won't do.
Leaders make old things new, and make new things.
The future of the Credit Union Movement is dependent on disciplined, visionary leadership who are not afraid of change or to change. Leadership that is willing to try new ways of doing old things, and the courage to discard those things that have lost their shelf life. A challenge to all Credit Union, is to commit to improving your leadership and investing in the leadership of the next generation understanding that the ultimate leader of all men, Jesus Christ, established the greatest philosophy of leadership, and that is, the greatest among you shall be the servant of all. The shortest route to leadership is service. It is expected that all Credit Unions will also remember the next generation because after all is said and done, success without a successor is failure.
