About Ira Robbins
In a 2018 interview on "Caucus: New York," Ira Robbins, then President of Valley National Bank, discussed leadership development and working with Millennials. Robbins stated that a leader has a responsibility to provide employees a path and opportunity to achieve their expectations, adding that any manager not executing this is an "ineffective manager." He described Millennials as wanting leaders to be engaged in their personal lives and to understand what drives them, while still maintaining appropriate separation. Robbins said he believed he could connect with younger professionals due to his relatively young age as a bank president.
