Drift is invisible until it costs you.

  • Deposits, turnover and cost of funds are lagging measures.By the time one of them slips, the habits behind it have already changed.
  • The habits causing it are months old.When performance finally shows the problem, the drift has compounded for a quarter or more.
  • You can't fix what you haven't named.A short check tells you where to look, not what everyone in the bank experiences.

Then bring it to Monday's huddle.

  1. Step 1

    Choose one gap

    Pick one top risk area your leaders agree deserves a closer look this month.

  2. Step 2

    Name a visible behavior

    Something you could watch or hear at the window or in the meeting, not a slogan.

  3. Step 3

    Review it weekly

    Ten minutes a week to check for it and decide what happens when it slips.
