New Year’s resolutions have been around in some form since 2000 B.C., and the tradition continues to thrive today. While resolutions often start with enthusiasm, the statistics reveal how difficult it is to follow through. According to Insideout Mastery:38.5% of US adults set New Year’s resolutions every year. 59% of young adults (18–34) are the largest demographic to set these goals. 48% want to exercise more, making it the most popular resolution.

What do stairwells, illnesses, decisions, and adolescents have in common? Oddly, they all share a surprising connection—they exist in “in-between” or liminal spaces. According to Wikipedia, “Liminality (from Latin līmen, ‘a threshold’) is the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of a rite of passage when participants no longer hold their pre-ritual status but have not yet transitioned to the status they will hold when the rite is complete.

When I was in command during my Air Force career, four primary responsibilities guided my daily actions: 1) execute the mission, 2) lead people, 3) manage resources, and 4) improve the unit. You don’t have to have served as a military commander to understand these duties as a leader. In fact, I believe most CEOs would agree these are basic responsibilities that accompany leading an organization.

Creating a unique and valuable strategy is pivotal to your credit union’s success in a highly regulated industry where it is challenging to stand apart from your competition. Hence, the annual “strategic planning” retreat. But I think calling it a planning retreat is misleading. You’re not there to create a plan. You’re there to develop a strategy. There is a big difference.

Credit union overdraft and Nonsufficient Fee income should not be publicly disclosed because it is confidential business information and is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act, America’s Credit Unions told the National Credit Union Administration on Friday. “If the NCUA is releasing Call Report data under separate authority, we would appreciate that clarification,” Carrie Hunt, America’s Credit Unions Chief Advocacy Officer, wrote in a letter to members of the NCUA board.

The economy in that troubled decade was constrained by stagflation, a combination of low growth and high inflation, and Dimon said such a risk exists again.

I’ve seen two extremes in my fifteen plus years in the credit union movement. I’ve seen credit union leaders so paralyzed by fear of change that their credit union dies on the vine. It’s like walking into granny’s house, a house that has not changed in years. (That yellow corded rotary phone is still on the wall and the 1988 phone book is still in the cabinet underneath.) I talk a lot about fear of change in this blog because it’s a common occurrence.

In 2005, George W. Bush was President and the BlackBerry was the cool handheld. The iPhone would not debut until 2007. The financial crisis was still on the horizon, and the Dodd-Frank Act wouldn’t hit banking for another five years.
