Strategic Partner
Leading the business
If you are aiming to be a Finance Director (FD) or Chief Financial Officer (CFO) then the key soft skills for accountants that you need to develop are:
- to be able to think at a strategic level
- to lead and inspire others
- to influence, persuade and negotiate
- to have high levels of political awareness
If you develop your leadership skills then you can become the Strategic Partner that your CEO is looking for – a trusted adviser and thinking partner.
