LAS VEGAS – As he has for months relishing his tell-like-it-is-role managing CUNA Mutual Group, Jeff Post, its president/CEO, provided credit union executives fresh insight on his 18-month stewardship detailing cost-cutting moves to hack officer ranks as well as eliminating a "country club" work ethic in the 5,500 employee firm.
In well-planned appearances in an "executive dialogue" and at a press briefing during CUNA Mutual's annual Discovery Conference, Post described the many changes he has made since taking over CUNA Mutual in January 2005 and at the same time appealed to the industry for "feedback" on what might be needed in the future.
Post said the first six months on the job were just surveying the organization and "listening and learning."
