Today’s CFOs are leaders through and through. They’re heavily involved in not only managing and leading a team but also assisting with team building and recruitment. Therefore, successful CFOs must have good leadership skills.
Bringing the team together and making sure everyone is supported and empowered within their roles is so important. The CFO needs to be a great leader who can strategically manage the team. They also must take leadership in the C-Suite. This involves showcasing leadership skills when assisting the CEO and other board members with key decision-making.
By articulating the why behind decisions and painting a clear picture of the end goal, a CFO can rally their team to push through challenges and achieve great results.
So leadership - getting people aligned, motivated and moving in the right direction – is one of the most vital CFO skills every CFO must try to master.
