FacebookTwitterLinkedIn

As part of our Leadership Series on the Lykken on Lending program, we’re very excited to welcome Ken Jones into the Hot Topic segment this week!

Ken Jones is the President at resX Warehouse Lending, a Division of United Bank, and he’s on the program today to discuss a key topic about expanding your business, and it all comes down to what he refers to as the pillars of successful leadership!

Ken JonesPillars of Successful Leadership

As Ken points out in his notes for this interview, effective leadership must have a foundation of trust. Beyond that, here are the three topics he’ll cover in his interview on the pillars of successful leadership:

  1. Creating a Vision (cause, purpose, collaboration)
  2. Being Vulnerable (I don’t know everything, use resources, admit to mistakes, be caring and humble)
  3. Doing What’s Right (protect the company means protecting the teammate)

With Ken’s extensive career as a leader in the mortgage industry, check out this Hot Topic interview and be sure to share it with your team! With Ken sharing so many of his personal experiences as a leader there’s so much to learn from him!
