A few years ago my goal was to be on the Corporate Leadership Team.
I viewed the journey as a challenge, leading to professional growth. I knew the position would grant more control over my work environment and the ability to make strategic decisions. I wanted to influence and impact the direction, culture, and success of the company.
So I organized my development plan to begin generating insights related to profitable growth.
Today, I sit at the table as the Finance Leader.
Tell Them What You Don’t Know
How did I make this happen?
I started sharing what I didn’t know.
I focused on the problems and the blind spots. I outlined the risks.
I integrated myself into planning and strategy sessions and ensured that the team was focused on margins, cash flow, and profitable growth.
I proposed solutions.
You can do it too.
