Financial Leadership
The Rapidly Evolving Role of CFO
More than financial savvy
Whether or not a CFO has a textbook definition of emotional intelligence (EQ), effective communication skills, empathy, and an interest in their team’s personal and professional development are critical to the performance of both a CFO and their organization. The ability to build strong relationships up and down the organization, as well as strong cross-cultural competency, are highly valued skills for the CFO to possess.
The CFO role has emerged as a first among equals on the senior executive team. Whether in title or scope of responsibility, the CFO position continues to evolve into a role with much more operational and strategic responsibility than was prevalent in previous generations of finance leaders.
