Lessons we cover in this episode:

  1. As you progress in your career, your responsibility is increasingly to ask good questions - not have the right answers
  2. You should maintain a humble mindset as you grow in your career
  3. When you’re a CFO and have a firm grasp on the numbers, you often have the right answer on decisions. But in feeling that you’re right - there can be a temptation to not listen to what others think. You need to maintain a listening posture in your team, even if you don’t agree with all that’s being said
  4. As a CFO, you need to take responsibility for your team’s output, be aware of the big picture and the details, and be forward-thinking - you can’t rest on past successes, or simply repeat the plan that you ran last year
  5. Find out what your team’s goals are, and help them succeed by achieving their goals
  6. The top things that make a great leader
  7. To be a great CFO, you have to learn to prioritize and know what you should say “yes” to, and what you should say “no” to. You can’t do everything.
  8. The benefits of having 1 on 1’s with your team
