Ready, set, LEAD!

For many, their induction into a leadership role is akin to a polar bear plunge – jump in and hope you don't drown (while smiling for the camera.) Others enjoy the advantage of mentors to guide them more gently into the deep end.

But one thing's true across the board: Becoming the kind of leader that financial institutions need in this ever-changing world isn't easy. That's where Laurie Maddalena comes in.

Laurie is CEO and Chief Leadership Consultant at Envision Excellence, a Certified Executive Coach, and my honored guest this week on CRMNEXT's Banking on Experience.
