Making the jump from a high performer to a high-performing leader

"Leadership is a skill you have to develop and maintain over time," says Velera Wilson. On the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast, leadership keynote speaker Wilson discusses key practices of leadership development for both current and future bank leaders. Among other topics, she covers:

• How emerging leaders can help themselves succeed in the transition from high-performing individual contributors to high-performing leaders.
• The delicate balance between coaching and hands-on management.
• Why poor-performing leaders can spread weak leadership throughout organizations.
• Tips for identifying and managing the pipeline of leadership.

Wilson will keynote the Emerging Leaders Program at ABA's Annual Convention, Oct. 25-27 in Salt Lake city.
