Leadership Skills for the CFO

From Value Preserver to Value Creator

The CFO’s role has changed dramatically in recent years. As more business unit general managers report directly to the CEO, the COO’s managerial duties are often reassigned to the CFO who is increasingly viewed as a “strategist”— someone to help grow the business as well as manage costs and report financials.

This course will provide ideas, skills and confidence to help you make the transition from “Value Preserver” to “Value Creator.”
