What do CEOs want, demand even, from their CFOs? FEI asked former CEO, leadership consultant, and author Hamish Thmson this question. Included in his range of insightful tips was to “be ahead of the curve”.
According to Hamish:
A consistent agitation against contentment can result in a CFO who is a step ahead of the pack. However, Hamish cautioned FEI members not to “confuse motion for impact”. On any particular issue or transaction, CFOs, and their finance teams, should be seeking to always:
- Assist;
- Add-value; or
- Accelerate
