Deedee Myers, CEO at DDJ Myers, joined us in the Studio Lounge to talk about the very timely topic of "Internal CEO Readiness" -- especially as more and more new CEOs are taking the helm at credit unions today.

Specifically, Deedee discussed how new CEOs often struggle to understand their organizations, highlighting the need for board competencies and clear governance structures. Candid conversations and trust-building between boards and CEOs are essential in these instances. 

She also touched on the evolving expectations of newer CEOs for meaningful content and the role of AI in governance, concluding with a call for deeper industry engagement and collaboration.

Q&A summary
What is the expectation for a CEO's understanding of their organization within the first 90 days?

What challenges do new CEOs face when they start in a multi-billion dollar credit union?
New CEOs must navigate the complexities of the organization and establish trust, which can be difficult to achieve in a short timeframe.
How are AI discussions impacting board education and oversight?
There is a growing need for boards to understand AI from a strategic perspective, including operational guidelines and safety mechanisms.
