Joining us next is Elizabeth Thornton, CEO of Global Initiative of Objective Leadership and Professor of Management Practice at Babson Executive Education. After deeply and honestly analyzing why her first business venture failed, she struck mental gold by realizing the importance of objective thinking. This prompted her to further study things like psychology and neuroscience, eventually leading her to develop a course called “Principles of Objectivity.” She teaches both students and established business executives to think more objectively and avoid common cognitive errors that can inhibit personal growth and success.

In her interview, Elizabeth deeply discusses the difference between subjectivity and objectivity, as well as how they apply to business. Her insight into neuroplasticity and its relevance in the workplace is truly fascinating. She offers a variety of tips on how to analyze your own thought processes, overcome your instinctual responses, and break outside of your existing mental models. We are inherently subjective, but Elizabeth proves we can use objective thought to develop a better sense of clarity.

Dave G (aka Dave Gajdzik), Managing Partner of Dave G CFO discusses the value of hire an experienced CFO part-time for business owners who do not have the budget for a full-time CFO.

Transcript: 

Dave: In simplest format, I provide CFO services for those firms that have yet to justify the cost of a full-time CFO, and I like to take the position that every firm should have a CFO, but the reality is in a business somewhere between $3M and $50M, they really can't afford that individual because it appears to be an overhead function. That's where we come in and we fulfill that void that's there. So, I don't need to work there 40 hours a week, maybe it's only 8, maybe it's 12, maybe it's 4, it depends upon every client. It doesn't matter whether you're in construction, distribution, internet, manufacturing, non-profit, paper industry, we can address all of those based upon the as needed basis. You know, doctors, we'd like to have a doctor handy anytime we need them. Well, what is it? It's on an as needed basis. Most companies don't have attorneys on staff. What is it? It's on an as needed basis. So, the CFO is really in that same league as the attorneys and the doctors, and when you need them, you need that professional with the formally educated background and the experience. So that's what we fulfill and that's how we make it happen.
