No Ceiling: Joselyn Baldner

Joselyn is the new president and CEO of Central Bank of the Ozarks. She started her career in banking as a teller, but earned her first manager role at just 22 years old. Joselyn says leadership is a trait she and others identified in her early on. When she was tapped as a possibility to take on leading local bank operations, Joselyn said she took time to discover if it was what she really wanted and leaned into what it would look like for her to lead as her authentic self.

On Leadership
“There’s always going to be things that I’m not the expert in and I don’t know. You have to be willing to reach out, you have to be willing to be vulnerable. When you demonstrate that, you tell others it’s OK to lead like that, too.”
