So you want to be a credit union CEO?
This is your must listen podcast.
In the show, Kirk Kordeleski, onetime CEO of Bethpage Federal Credit Union which he grew to be among the nation’s biggest, tells his path from starting as a part time teller at Bank-Fund Staff Credit Union in Washington DC (created for employees of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund) to rising to the top at a huge credit union.
Along the way Kordeleski also ponders what it means that many CEOs of his generation in fact started as tellers or similar entry level positions. Nowadays many fast risers in credit unions come in the door as executives and never worked in a call center or as a teller. What does that mean?
Later, Kordeleski talks about the free - yes, free - consulting he now offers to a couple dozen young CU execs who say they want to become a CEO. To qualify a candidate has to hold an SVP level job or a c-suite slot.
In that consulting Kordeleski preaches his doctrine of running a highly aggressive credit union - which is how Bethpage grew.
Listen up.
This show is in a Money Talks series where credit union compensation is untangled. This show will help some executives negotiate better pay packages and will also help some board members understand the ways in which 2023 credit union compensation is utterly different from 1993 comp plans, even 2013 plans because now competition for talent is so much fiercer.
