CFOs: Can you be Leader & Friend?

[youtube=http://youtu.be/0nlsdk0QSvA]

I always find Mike Lipkin to be inspiring and I look forward to his video messages.

His recent video message (you can also read his recent insight) can certainly apply to CFOs as they continue to look to improve their Leadership.

Become a Better CFO: Be on Trend. Create your own Luck.

I received this video in my email yesterday, and I wanted to share it with you. I was fortunate to be attending a conference in May 2010 where Mike Lipkin was the keynote speaker.

[Sidenote: I have always been skeptical of Motivational Speakers. It was never my style. But I ended up in a room with Mike Lipkin and he is one person I thank for making the changes in my life and career that has brought me here today].

If you are the kind of person that does not like motivational speakers – do not watch the video.

If you are the kind of person that likes to hear new ideas, be current, and are open to change and improvement, go ahead and listen.

Based on the research done by Mr. Lipkin’s company, Environics Lipkin, Mike explains these seven powerful and current trends that have the ability to make you a Better CFO.

    1. Instrospection and empathy.
    2. New social responsibility and community involvement
    3. Social learning and cultural fusion.
    4. Vitality and effort for health.
    5. Rejection of authority and support for government.
    6. Equality of the sexes.
    7. Pursuit of originality.

If any of these trends interest you and you would like to understand them better, watch the video.

Do any of these apply to you?

Can you be on Trend?

Will following any of these trends help make you a Better CFO?

As Mike says “You may be the one that others have been waiting for.”
