How to M otivate Commercial Lenders

an interesting commentary by Rus­

M otivation should not be viewed

performs well when monitored close- In some situations, negotiation is

inevitable. Likewise, give-and-take
between the manager and the subor­
dinate should be expected. Proper
challenges and goal setting are all
part of the procedure, and they
should be integrated into the moti­
vation process as well. In short,
view each person as though he were
a valued customer.
Setting Goals
When setting goals, involve your
entire banking team. Let them help
identify a clear path of progress.
Progress which rewards only the
bank is ineffective. The progress and
improvement of lenders m ust come
first. Outline goals from their per­
spective, and review these goals con­
tinually.
Bank management should make
every effort to make each employ­
ee’s position personally enriching.
The staff must feel that they are im­
proving their skills and continually
growing. M eetings, self-improve­
ment courses, and outside training
and seminars are excellent tools.
Just as important, however, is man­
agem ent support. M anagem ent
must make lenders feel that manage­
ment support is there, working to
improve the quality of the lenders’
work.
G etting the lead out of an incen­
tive program isn ’t a quick, one-time
effort. It requires long-term motiva­
tion which will prove to be highly
cost-efficient and effective. Good
banking management can prove to
be the best motivator for the long
run.
