What separates good leaders from great ones?

In this episode of Behind Numbers, we explore, with Jenny Fuss – CFO at Crowley, a powerful mindset shift that changes how leaders think about risk, failure, and decision-making.

“Your energy flows where your focus goes.”
“Everything is figure-outable.”
“Stop asking: What if it fails?”

Jenny shares lessons from a global career that took her from Germany to China to the United States; navigating complexity,cultural shifts, and high-stakes leadership decisions along the way.
