CFO of the future: Looking beyond the numbers
As the CFO role has expanded, so, too, has the value of a top-notch finance chief. Today’s CFOs have more oversight and responsibility – and a role in setting an organizations strategy. To keep up with the rapid evolution, CFOs must ensure that they’re developing emotional intelligence (EI). For some CFOs, having strong EI may come naturally, but for others it’s something that will need practice. Whether EI comes naturally or not, possessing the associated skills may not be enough to apply them to your work style. It will take an open mind and concerted effort.
