t Training, Keeping Good Loan Officers
Crucial to Community Banks’ Future
H E C R IT IC A L need for welltrained commercial loan offi­
cers is underscored in two recent
publications from Robert Morris A s ­
sociates, the national association of
bank loan and credit officers. Head­
quartered in Philadelphia, R M A
publishes monthly The Journal of

T

Commercial Lending.
From previous issues, R M A rec­
ently issued a book titled Lender
Liability that presents ten articles
containing a wealth of information
>n lender liability court cases and
the legal grounds for those cases.
A lso included are guidelines, many
of them from attorneys, for avoiding
lender liability charges. R M A feels
this collection will be useful to all
bankers involved in commercial len­
ding, from credit analysts up to poli­
cymakers.
In its A pril issue of The Journal,
R M A presents a vibrant article by
the well-known Dr. Paul S. Nadler,
whose topic,“ Keeping the Lenders
in Community Banks,” shows that
the ability of community banks to
hold on to their young talent is
crucial to the survival and prosperi­
ty of community banks. Dr. Nadler
is a professor of finance at the G rad­
uate School of Management, Rut­
gers University, Newark, N.J., and

I

is widely known for his addresses at
many banking conventions and
schools.
In his copyrighted article in the
R M A Journal, Dr. Nadler discusses
why it is important for top manage­
ment to nurture the talented loan of­
ficers at community banks. He also
offers reasons these lenders should
remain loyal to their community in­
stitutions.
“ If the top management of a com­
munity bank wants to keep its
talent—its young and aggressive
loan officers, platform specialists,
and the like— and not have these
people jum p ship for larger banks or
nonbank opportunities, they will
have to have an honest story to tell
them,” Dr. Nadler says. “ This
means assurance that these people
will still be needed just as much if
the bank is acquired and that they
will continue to move up the ladder
even if their bank does become part
of a larger institution.”
Dr. Nadler goes on to say that
with community banks, “ .. . the
personality and local knowledge of
the staff are far more important in­
gredients in the success of the
organization” than anything else. In
fact, he contends, “ I f the people run­
ning the acquired institution are let

go, the acquirer is throwing away
the major asset that he paid so much
to buy.”
Dr. Nadler adds that top manage­
ment of community banks have a
strong selling point as they try to
keep good young people. It is that
the young people will probably learn
more by remaining with their pre­
sent organization than they would
learn going to a major bank. “ Here
in their moderate-size organization
they find that their talent is needed
in many areas of the bank. Also,
these young lenders learn how a
bank really works when they are
given a variety of tasks that use
many facets of their talent.”
In addition, Dr. Nadler says,
“ . . . the quality of life in a smaller
community is generally much better
than that in a larger city, com­
muting time is far less, costs of liv­
ing are lower, and the fears that in­
fect urban American life today are
far less prevalent.”
Dr. Nadler warns that the people
in top management must be consis­
tent if they want to sell this story
that the young lenders are needed no
matter what happens. “ They cannot
be hypocrites. I f a promotion spot is
available, it should go to someone
already on staff. In addition, top
managers must listen to the ideas of
the young loan officers and, when
possible, let them be implemented
even though, in some instances, this
is against the better judgment of the
superior.”
