Vol. 17 No. 4 Des Moines, Iowa ____________________ May 9,1988 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.” Together We Can Accomplish Great Things Call Terry Martin, MNB Correspondent Banker 319-368-4320 or Toll Free 1-800-332-5991 https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Strength Eastern |owa_ Merchants National Bank m Cedar Rapids.
