While they’ve achieved the top leadership spot at their organization, CEOs know they must still take advantage of every opportunity to learn.

Three credit union CEOs—all with varying lengths of time in the top spot—joined the CUNA News Podcast to discuss their career journeys and what they’ve learned along the way.

Joining the podcast are:

• Doug Fagan, president/CEO at $695 million asset Partner Colorado Credit Union, Arvada, Colo.
• Jennifer Watson, CEO at $58 million asset Limestone Federal Credit Union, Manistique, Mich.
• Darius Wise, president/CEO at $350 million asset Red Rocks Credit Union, Littleton, Colo.

They share insights into what it means to be a leader, their leadership styles, advice they have for first-time CEOs, and more.
