Not one use of the word purpose, now that’s a helluva an improvement! Now let’s see if all these id--ts spouting about purpose on LinkedIn have gotten the message.
OP is probably DW, hence Knew vs New.
Compared to Bill and Kelly I give ML a B+. He has been here 1 month. They are working on the strategic plan now for 2027. He is more than capable to fix and get rid of both incompetent mo--ns and LOB that have sub 15% rotce. KL should be on the hot seat but she isn’t going anywhere. She has been a disaster with every LOB she touches.
@ar If they hadn’t let all our top talent walk, there wouldn’t be a branch issue.
It sounds like they’re focusing on branch banking
Agree was not the best performance on the call and very unclear on the plan but did seem the focus is around small business/branch network and the underperformance there. This was really an intro, need to hear the Jan 27 call, should give better insight. Bagging Donta was a nice start.
Thankfully Mike M jumped in and saved him on Mike Mayo's question. Just a big word salad of Uhm's. Might need to get Mr Lyons some public speaking courses.
He knew the new job. Come out with force and command 6 seconds, 6 days or 6 weeks into it.
@ Glad you're giving him a quarter to learn the job. Maybe use that time to pick up a dictionary to learn “new” vs “knew.” Hmmmmm….
MM outperformed ML on that one.
Just a thought for a leader: endless lists mean you have no priorities. Have the courage to say “while we have X long term goals, right now we are just focused on this” and keep it tight. The parade of to dos this am left me underwhelmed.
@OP Certainly likes to hear himself talk but agree he's saying nothing. It's clear the depth of knowledge just isn't there at this point and its coming across but that will come with time
@OP Are you going to lower the bo-m if your expectations are not met?
