My Bank Is Taking Over

 


Brian Moynihan, CEO Bank of America was honored last week [January 21, 2021] as one of the the most effective CEO's in America.

But there is mud down in the grass roots at the bank.

Nearly needing a magnifying glass, I read the fine red print at the bottom of my home equity loan statement:

The next scheduled payment will be deducted from the account designated.

Three phone transfers and 23 minutes later, I discovered someone at this behemoth institution changed my account with no authorization from me or my wife.

The penalty: I could be doubling my monthly payments if I kept to my normal transactions on their Bill-Pay platform.

Gee, Brian!  Are you aware of the deterioration of what used to be a most competent work force?

With my impending change in housing, I would normally use BOA for a mortgage.

Now I have to give a vote of no confidence.

I just hope you are listening

Who Do You Know?

 


Email today, "who do you know at Goodwin College?"

No context.

I remain flabbergasted how people network.

Opportunity: 

Mark Scheinberg, Founder and current president of Goodwin College

Tell him, "You must be so proud on the development of this educational institution"

Ask him, "What is your strategy for developing a successor to preserve what you have built?"

Lesson

Do not talk about what you do. 

Discover their challenges

That will infer your competency to be the solution

MORE TIME HAS BEEN CREATED

 


 A big plus with Covid...
 It has created more time to work with.
Consider a Zoom recorded meeting as a powerful management tool
Shall we stop holding in-person meetings?
