BEST COMPANIES

The Specialty Finance Group at 1st Source Bank follows the “1st Source Way of leadership.”

This servant leadership philosophy is rooted in the values of integrity, teamwork, superior quality and outstanding service to others. It focuses on developing and inspiring team members to become the best they can be, while executing the company’s mission to help clients achieve security, build wealth and realize their dreams.

Each of SFG’s division leaders serves as a role model, contributing expertise as they communicate, coordinate and collaborate with colleagues across the bank and the industry. Leaders take great care and derive professional satisfaction from supporting their team members, coaching their continuous growth and expressing gratitude while celebrating their successes. Each member of the SFG leadership team commits to consistent and sustained effort to make a positive difference for the bank, team members and a growing clientele across the equipment finance communities it serves.

For aspiring leaders, SFG creates formal development plans that incorporate numerous continuing education and leadership course options. The company is enthusiastic about STRIPES Leadership Program as a critical piece of SFG’s leadership development plans. SFG leaders regularly invest in on-the-job leadership mentoring, often discussing real-world leadership situations in addition to sharing books, Monitor articles and more, with the intent of helping aspiring leaders grow.

SFG strongly believes that leaders can successfully grow and develop over time through these intentional practices. While formal leadership might not be the course of choice for all, SFG knows that a leadership title is not necessary to begin to build and display leadership traits. 

“It is enormously gratifying to see team members grow and successfully serve their clients, their team and the equipment finance industry. At 1st Source Bank’s Specialty Finance Group, we win with our people!”
