True leaders put in the work and make sacrifices for others. Leadership is a learned skill, a skill that must be practiced. It may look simple, and it is - only if you know what to do and how to do it. Leadership requires one to develop a greater understanding of intangibles that are difficult to quantify - but are priceless. The best leaders care about others, are trustworthy and are credible. We will discuss proven tactics to enhance those skills. Worthy for those who want to become even more valuable as a business leader.Week 3: CFO Series: Are Employees Assets? Today's New EmploymentCPE: 2Field of Study: Business Management & OrganizationDiscussion Leader: Bob MimsDate: Friday, August 16, 11:00 amDescription: As the manager's role continues to evolve, it is crucial for us to understand the strategic aspects of managing a diverse workforce, beginning with understanding the big trends in employee demographics. We begin with a rhetorical question - asking if employees are assets? GAAP tells us they are not, but does this treatment bias our view of the people in our organization? What do the most successful organizations do, believe, and why? What are the winning organizations doing that works? If you have an opinion as to whether employees are an asset or not, this is a thoughtful, interactive discussion to highlight what works in today's new employment environment.Week 4: CFO Series: Ready to be an Effective CFO? Skills to SucceedCPE: 2Field of Study: Business Management & OrganizationDiscussion Leader: Anita Layton, MBA, CPA, CMADate: Friday, August 23, 11:00 amDescription: With all the buzz about the additional responsibilities of CFOs today, what are the essential skillsets for success? How do you excel when you are spread so thin? Becoming the multi-skilled CFO companies are looking for requires you to balance traditional responsibilities with new demands. How do you utilize your key relationships and your team to fill the gaps and make sure nothing slips through? To be effective requires a shift in the way financial leaders think and approach their day - rather than a never-ending chase after new skillsets. Thinking differently about how to accomplish the broad spectrum of CFO responsibilities is a key lesson in your essential lifelong learning. We will review many tactics to help you become even more effective.
