Develop your Finance Leadership Skills to achieve your career goals and to make a positive impact in your organization
A finance leader is a confident expert of finance and accounting principles who fuses technical expertise with leadership to make others around them better, AND to positively transform the organization by using accurate, relevant, and real-time data to help other leaders make better decisions to execute the strategy.
Leadership is about influencing positive outcomes. Grow the people around you so you make them better, and learn to partner with senior leaders to help execute the strategy.
Believe that you can grow and develop into the role you desire. Your mindset is everything. If you change your mindset, you will change your outcome!
Develop a written Individual Development Plan with goals and a timeline for executing. Continue to assess and update your plan often. Create clarity with your goals.
