066: The CFO Skillset for a Complex Business Environment

The Finance Leader Podcast

The modern CFO requires a different set of skills and perspective to navigate the complexities of the new global marketplace. Traditional business concepts are changing into more a dynamic and socially conscious environment where you must be able to solve much different problems than as a team manager. When you combine a strategic skillset with your finance and accounting knowledge plus a growth mindset, you will be able to succeed at the executive level.
The following outline is used during the outline:

1. You must transition your skillset as you advance in role and responsibility,
2. Anticipate the future business environment and coach the development of options within the decision-making process,
3. Can you adapt and lead change,
4. Clear and consistent communication includes being able to listen effectively, and
5. Continue to grow personally and to develop your team.
