‘Reputation is very important’ – Alhassan Andani tells FBNBank talent cohort

Reputation is very important, because your reputation precedes you as a person and transcends what you do for your organisation, and at certain places, it goes beyond what you do for your country.

Using an executive as an example, he said that executive had been able to carve out a positive reputation for himself outside of the bank by reason of all he had done prior to joining the bank.

For you in this high performers programme, that should be your trajectory; building a reputable image.”

Andani added that “at the mid-level management, your talent must be recognized across your peer group in the industry.

Your reputation at this stage sometimes becomes your parachute to move to other companies or the launch pad to higher positions within your organisation.”

Andani advised the Bank’s high performers talent to examine their career choices critically to ensure that they use paths which provide them the relevant guardrails for improved performance and growth.

The FBNBank high performers programme is aimed at developing a pipeline of leaders for the Bank, ensuring consistent solid performance for the Bank’s teams and business
