Truist Folks Want to Know: What Was Mike Lyons Like at Bank of America?

Hi Bank of America peeps. A few of us from Truist are checking in. Mike Lyons was just named our new incoming CEO. What was it like working for him during his time there? Solid leader? How did he handle culture, trust, accountability, and employee engagement?

Any flexibility on remote work or work-life balance, or was it more old-school in-office?
It's fair to say morale is quite poor right now, and many of us are looking for signs that things can improve with no expectations of instant miracles. Curious if you noticed any positive shifts over the longer term under him, even when changes got messy. Good, bad, or ugly, we'd appreciate hearing about it.

@ah Glad I wasn't the only one. I had a manager lose it on me when he mentioned a manager adn expected that I would just know they name. I simply responded with "All I need to know in my chain of command is you, your replacement if you're gone, and BM. Anyone in the middle doesn't matter. They never make an effort to talk to me and I return the favor."

Solid guy. Smart, strategic, good listener, good ideas and most important, reasonable.

I enjoyed working with him very much. His direct team seemed to think well of him, too.

Unlike the majority of BofA execs, he was the adult in the room and a calm voice of reason.

Others can chime in, but from my perspective as a more junior person on a partner team, he was always available, trustworthy and would steer the ship right when his fellow execs tried to do wacky things.

Oh! and also unlike other BofA execs, he actually does stuff and got things done. And in a positive way.

I'd say you're in good hands. You got a good one! Congrats.
