161 | The “Five Driver Model” Jon Greenwood (Part 1)

Today, we launch a three-part series with Jon Greenwood, a seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience at Huntington National Bank, where he served as Executive Vice President. During his tenure, Jon managed a vast network of over 1,000 branches and 6,500 staff members across 11 states.

This interview was filled with GOLD LEADERSHIP LESSONS, which required me to divide it into three parts. I’ve never done this before, but it is absolutely needed so nothing is missed. 

This three-part series delves into the intricacies of leadership and organizational management.

Part 1 – Jon shares his extensive experience and wisdom, highlighting the importance of the “𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥” for Success, which includes People, Culture, Strategy, Structure, and Process.

Part 2 – 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭 & 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

Our conversation explores handling conflict and improving performance within leadership and teams. We also discuss strategies for managing disagreements, balancing empathy with assertiveness, and ensuring team members are in the right roles.

Part 3 – 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬

As a leader, knowing your numbers is crucial because it demonstrates a deep understanding of your business. Jon Greenwood shares an experience where his CEO, Steve Steinour, would ask detailed questions to ensure that Jon truly knew his business. This level of scrutiny helped Jon learn his numbers quickly and thoroughly. It also allowed him to make informed decisions and effectively manage his responsibilities.

Jon gives us a taste of his current involvement in building a leadership program at Cedarville University. We will have him on at a later date to discuss this exciting new leadership program.

Here is Part 1 with Jon Greenwood.
