Every society and its institutions are being disrupted beyond imagination as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. No one knows exactly the extent to which life, and business as we know it, will be impacted and reshaped. Yet, societies and their economies are highly dependent on the banking and finance sector to still provide the services that ensure that business, and life in general, continues to function. What is the role of values-based banking during these times of disruption? How can leaders in this sector tap into collective leadership and power of innovation to respond with resiliency and impact?
Re-inventing a more resilient banking and financial system is even more crucial for GABV members who are committed to serving many underserved clients and initiatives. This program, Leading in Times of Disruption, has been created to help leaders in values-based banks to learn processes and tools of Emerging Leadership as well as to think together in order to find ways to not only survive the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also emerge more resilient and innovative.
Who Should Participate?
The Leadership Academy is designed for leaders in GABV member banks or non-member banks that aim to expand their values-based banking activities. Participants benefit most from the program when they:

- Are open to new ideas and advancing their personal leadership skills,

Organizational Support and Communication
We recommend that organizations send team or several individuals from one organization. In addition, the Human Development Group of the GABV recommends a close communication between the participants of the program, their team members, colleagues and their direct reports at home about the purpose and the content of the program. The facilitators of the Leadership Academy will support participants’ interaction and communication with their respective organizations by providing guidance and learning materials. The members of the GABV Human Development group will also provide guidance.
