Few perspectives on Leadership

As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others. – Bill Gates

​

Irrespective of when Bill Gates had said this, the relevance of it will stay. The role of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has expanded over the years from strong Financial Acumen to being a strategic partner to the business and various stakeholders within and outside the organization. Change is the only constant as the saying goes, and the ever-changing environment that we are part of, it is imperative that one is prepared to adapt to the changes – technical, technological, people and business. A CFO who can enhance the Leadership in an organic way can feel empowered and make their teams feel empowered to meet all the goals/objectives.

The answers we seek will never be found by you or by me. They can only be found by us. – Dr. Sasha Kanthan

​

A team is successful if the individuals are successful. However, the individuals need a collaborative and right environment to excel in what they do to make the team successful. With the high level of flexibility expected at workplace and change in the composition of the workforce with the advent of newer generations, the need for collaborative approach is imperative. A team that can create a collaborative, innovative and creative approach would be able to achieve their goals on a consistent basis and aspire for higher growth.

Success Stories

As the first client of JL, the initial conversation was a bouncer where I had the expectation of coming up with a quick to-do-list to enhance leadership. Through the coaching conversation, JL made me realize with questioning and discussion, one can look inward for their own leadership style. JL is polite & courteous and one can have a deep conversation with him while staying focused on the objectives.
