“I believe to be an effective leader you need to be a constant learner, and there is no better way to learn than to hear from the important leaders of our day. When I’m on Lessons in Leadership, I value the opportunity to share my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned throughout my career in hopes it can help current and aspiring leaders. I also personally gain incredible insight from hearing other leaders share their stories. Valley Bank is proud to be a sponsor of this important show.”
-Ira Robbins, President & CEO of Valley Bank

There is much discussion and debate about how much a leader (whether a CEO or not) needs to be involved in the day to day operations of his or her organization. Being an engaged leader is essential, but that is not the same as being involved in virtually every minute detail of organizational life to the extent where the leader is driving, pushing or directing so much of what is going on that members of the team simply wait to be told what to do.
