What They Are Saying About Squared Away
“I wish I read this 20 years ago.”
George Groves, Chairman and CEO (retired), Legacy Bank
“It’s a great book - I’d recommend it not only for bank CEOs but for anyone interested in a career in banking.”
Mary Ann Scully, Chairman and CEO, Howard Bancorp, Inc.
“Jeff’s two decades as a banking expert are wonderfully summarized in his well written, concise and well organized book.”
Brian Velligan, Managing Partner, Velligan-Blaxall Consultants LLC
“Squared Away isn’t the typical bank consultant chant of scale-up or sell. Rather, Jeff examines thought provoking issues for open-minded banks to evolve profitability while balancing the needs of its important stakeholders.”
Troy Peters, President & CEO, JBT Bancorp, Inc.
“[This book] can be useful to a new management team but equally to an entrenched team that need a reminder and refresher course on what makes a good bank great.”
Jim Lynch, Managing Partner, Patriot Financial Partners, L.P.
I wrote Squared Away so community bankers could build their institutions to serve all stakeholders… stakeholder primacy as it is described in the book. To create a culture infused with the operating discipline to be relevant, even important to their employees, customers, communities and shareholders for those that have them. Because an institution that matters to their stakeholders, is one built to last.
