CUES AND THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA RELEASE CREDIT UNION CEO LEADERSHIP PROFILE 2000-2004

Credit Union Management, Jul 2005

As you may already know, CUES recently released a new white paper, Credit Union CEO Leadership Profile 2000-2004, an inventory of leadership aptitudes of credit union executives. The report is free to all CUES, CUES Directors Educational Forum and CUES Financial Suppliers Forum members.

Conducted by Lou Centini, senior director/executive education, Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, University of Virginia, the research report is based on the Leadership Practices Inventory administered to 188 credit union executives who attended CUES' CEO Institute III from 2000 through 2004. The report analyzes the leadership skills credit union executives need to help improve their performance, discusses prevalent skills needed in the industry and explores a comparative analysis of credit unions to other organizations.

Credit Union CEO Leadership Profile 2000-2004 provides insights on how today's credit union leaders have changed over the past five years and what credit unions need to do to maintain their unique position among financial institutions. The study was conducted to establish methods to enhance the capabilities of credit union executives by focusing on leadership areas such as building spirited teams, understanding the importance of mutual respect, and recognizing and celebrating accomplishments.
