Dear Loan Officer,
The way that company culture manifests differs by job, but the general consensus is that culture either governs the rules, or is the rules – which predicates the expectations of behavior in a workplace.
We can all agree that things. go. wrong. It’s amazing how many people you help, and things can still go awry. Guiding principles is something we use at our office, which is called our Rules of Play. Systems or rules like these, help to guide us during stressful times (or times when realignment is needed).
Rule of Play #2 – Communicate good news or bad, proactively and with a proposed solution.
It can be an appraisal that comes in low on a refinance, a lock we forgot to make and the rate got worse, or a customer that didn’t hear back from you. But the truth is, our customers see us as their partners. We’re in this together, and so ripping the band-aid off, so to speak, is better done quickly, and as painless as possible.
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but Deliver The News.
What news do you have today, that you might need to deliver?
