GTBank employee shares what moved him most
In a LinkedIn post, the GTBank employee stated that he began at the bank as an executive trainee but is now an assistant banking officer.
He reflected on how he discharged his duties as an executive trainee, noting that his decision to "show out" every day for every customer on every desk has been rewarded with a promotion.
Samuel, however, pointed out that it was not his new title that moved him the most, but what each of his leaders at the bank said about him.
He shared what his leaders said about him and sent an inspiring message to every young professional feeling unseen. His post partly read:
"From ET to ABO.

"But what moved me most wasn’t the title. It was what my leaders said independently of each other. My Line Manager called me highly intelligent, proactive, and a consistent contributor to team success. My Group Head called me strategic, a fast learner, and a great asset to the bank.
"My Divisional Head said I go the extra mile and deliver on every assigned task. Three leaders. Three independent voices. One consistent picture. I didn’t perform those qualities for an appraisal. I practiced them daily because who you are in the small moments determines what you become in the big ones..."
