Dear reader,
If you have been following my blog for the past year, you know that I have been working on a book aimed at helping the Chief Financial Officer become more successful in their career and at their employer.
Many of you have been extremely supportive as I journeyed from decision to write the book through its completion.
Today, is the day I, and many of you, have been waiting for.
Today, Monday March 17th, is the date that my new book is available in stores across the United States. Guide to CFO Success: Leadership Strategies for Corporate Financial Professionals, available in hardcover and e-book, is published by Wiley & Sons.
(Guide to CFO Success will be available in Canada on March 31, the United Kingdom and the rest of the world on April 9)
Moving beyond the technical acumen required for the job, Guide to CFO Success: Leadership Strategies for Corporate Financial Professionals teaches chief financial officers the specific leadership skills they need to contribute positively to an organization while also maintaining an awareness of their role in a global economy.
It discusses not only how to build and navigate a successful career path, but also how to effectively build teams and manage relationships.
This book teaches current and aspiring CFOs to:
• Recognize the non-technical skills they need to become a thriving leader
• Plan a winning career roadmap while avoiding occupational dangers
• Transition effectively to a new CFO role or organization
• Properly manage all internal and external business relationships
• Build and develop a winning finance team, including succession planning
With numerous real-world examples of successful and not-so-successful CFO relationship management strategies, Guide to CFO Success is the only book on the market dedicated exclusively to the leadership management skills of the CFO.
