Description:
This model has been introduced by the CFO Leadership Council in 2018 (Gimpert, 2018) and has been developed with the intention of providing a “readily available, multi-dimensional framework that can be easily applied to guide their own and their leadership team’s growth”. The model is based on a set of seven guiding principles.
- Leaders have a defined sense of purpose and are mission-driven;
- Leadership is on-going journey, not a destination;
- Leadership begins with objective recognition of one’s strengths and development needs and reconciling them to the environment one is immersed within;
- Sustained practice, seeking of objective feedback, and on-going refinement is required;
- Leadership extends beyond leading others; it is also about leading oneself; how one works across the organization and how one delivers performance;
- The benefits of effective leadership is best realized when one’s abilities are extended through the teams one leads;
- Understand the organization one is immersed in and adopt a style that balances who you are with what fits and is an observable model of the organization’s culture (or one that is desired).
It is then organised in four distinguished by interdependent dimensions.
Each dimension is organised in a number of supporting attributes, which are essentially a mix of competencies and personality traits, that should be developed coherently to ensure the mission driven development of a CFO.
