PODCAST: The Hiring Triangle – CEO, CFO and the Board

I was recently interviewed by Jack Sweeney for his podcast series called CFO Thought Leader. This was the fourth time I was interviewed by Sweeney, and I enjoyed our conversation once again. I believe you will find the conversation interesting and relevant.

Here are some of the questions addressed in this podcast. (You can listen via the Youtube window on this page, you can download the file or find the iTunes link below)

  • How involved is the Board when hiring a CFO?
  • How can a CFO hire go wrong?
  • How can a CFO going through a hiring process work through the CEO/Board dynamics?
  • What advice do you offer CFO candidates before their first interview?
  • If a CFO hire is going to happen, what is the time frame to make it happen?
  • How do you help CFOs with executive coaching?
  • What advice would you give a CEO trying to evaluate a CFO candidate?
  • What part do part-time CFOs play in the market today?
  • When is the right time for a company to hire their first real CFO?
  • Who engages an executive search firm for a CFO hire?
  • What advice do you have for senior finance executives that want to build relationships outside their business?

If any of these topics are of interest to you, you will find this podcast to be worth listening to. (29 minutes)

CFOs: When interviewing for your next role, make sure you have one of these

Yes, having a resume is important. So is a LinkedIn profile. I’ve blogged previously about whether a CFO needs a resume, or a LinkedIn Profile is enough.

But this is not what I’m recommending today.

I recently spoke with a CFO who is in process of interviewing for his next Chief Financial Officer role, and he was asked if he had Video of his presentations.

Yes, the CEO wanted to know how good a presenter he was, and wanted to see him in action.

Do you have videos of presentations you’ve made as CFO?

    • If you don’t, I recommend arranging to get your next presentations recorded.
    • If you do have video, and you think you could do a better job at presenting, consider getting presentation coaching.

Your next CFO role might depend on it.

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.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT1Y8hed0K4]

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.”
