Description
Summary:	Chairman of the FDIC Don Powell spoke to bankers at the ABA Annual Convention last month. Most bankers tend to think success is the natural consequence of their enlightened stewardship, and, conversely, that failure is due to events beyond their control. Powell's message was intended to prick that balloon of managerial ego, and remind bankers that good managers take steps to deal with the unforeseen. He counseled that now is the time to get your house in order. Now is also a good time to focus on your employees, said Powell.
