CNB MANAGER/OFFICER ROLE

Sometimes the responsibilities of the officer role have been implied, or an example is set by the supervisor.  To better clarify the role of a CNB Manager/Officer, the following has been added to the officer job description: 

• The role of a CNB Manager/Officer is where the line between an employee “working for the bank”, to “having responsibility for the Bank” is firmly drawn.  Managers/Officers should be prepared to accept their representation as a leader of the Bank.

• Managers/Officers understand that they are first an officer of the Bank, and second the officer and manager over their assigned area of responsibility.  Managers/Officers provide leadership to both those under their immediate direction and those indirectly under them.

• Managers/Officers represent the Bank and its policies.  To the staff the officer is the company.  Managers/Officers are familiar with company policy, communicate policy to staff and represent the management of the company.

• Managers/Managers/Officers support and participate in Bank sponsored customer and employee related events and are willing to put in the extra time and effort needed to do so.

• Managers/Officers represent the Bank in the community and make an effort to serve on community-related committees and organizations. Managers/Officers present themselves in a positive and professional manner while visible in the community and both in the workplace and while off-duty.

• Managers/Officers set an example for the staff in their behavior, professionalism and leadership and take ownership in this role, and should be viewed by their peers as a leader.

• Managers/Officers manage upward.  That is, the officer keeps higher levels of management informed of key issues and situations in a timely manner.

• Managers/Officers continue to work toward greater understanding and performance in their area of responsibility.
