STANCHART PROFITS

The recently released Standard Chartered (kenya) profits for 2009 need to be explained. This bank recorded a 42.6% pretax profits. The bank's CEO Richard Etemesi attributed this phenomenal growth to ''sticking to the basics of banking. The bank's earnings reflect prudent and proactive risk management capability''. Congrats to CEO, Board of Directors and staff of Stanchart.

Using my Personality  Reading Formula, and without ignoring the input of the other stakeholders, I find this CEO to be highly endowed personality-wise and professionally. This is a man who can excel in whatever profession and under whatever circumstances. He belongs to the super achievers whom I call the KNOWERS. Knowers are the naturally bright, wise and superb knowledge workers and leaders. Knowers are not easy to come by in a population. Bravo Mr Etemesi! I shall soon open an account with this bank since I am sure this is where to put my hard-earned money not just for business but for the credibility, integrity, rationality and honesty of its CEO.
