We are living in a time of great uncertainty. The economy may be headed for a recession, jobs and federal programs and funds are at risk, and families are stretching their budgets well past their comfort zones. As a leader, Kevin Smith of TEAM Resources suggests that board members and management at your credit union have an important role.

In his recent blog, The Sky is Falling, Again: A Credit Union Leader’s Guide to Surviving Change Fatigue Without Losing Your Mind, he discusses change fatigue, why it is important, and most importantly, what you can do about it. I encourage you to give it a read and discuss this important topic within your boardroom and credit union.

We’ve often heard, “There is nothing permanent, except change.” That may be true, and it is also a leader’s job to recognize the stress and fatigue that may come with it. Burnout is real, and you might be surprised how many people in your life are close to it.
