I talk about the difference between strategic thinking and strategic leadership, and why most companies test for the first one but the second one is what keeps you in the seat. Why your relationship with your CEO and your board is the single most important factor in whether you succeed or get pushed out. A real story from a CFO who was asked by her CEO to stop coming to board meetings after she shared information he did not want shared. Why working with a founder CEO is completely different from working with a hired CEO and what that means for how you navigate the role. How mid-market CFOs operate at different altitudes in the same day, from talking to funders to reviewing accounting entries. What I mean by "strategic influence" and why it has to permeate everything you do and say as an executive, down to the words you choose. And why alignment with your boss, your company, your family, and your health is the one word that defines everything I have learned so far.
This is not just for CFOs. If you are in any senior leadership seat, this video is for you.
