If I asked your team to recite your company’s values, how many would get past the first one? Let’s be honest. Most people can’t remember them… let alone live by them. And yet, CEOs and leadership teams will confidently declare that “our values guide everything we do.” It’s a lovely sentiment. It just isn’t true. Not when the values are vague, generic, or worse, lifted straight from a corporate cliché handbook. In practice, too many values are nothing more than corporate wal

You naturally start by looking at COOs from within your sector. It's a logical step. They “get” your business, the regulations, the nuances. But what if you’re overlooking a hidden gem?

We all know great leaders. The ones who inspire, drive results, and generally make things happen. The thing is even the best leaders aren't perfect, despite how many management consultants say that they are. We've all got those "blind spots"... those areas where we just don't see ourselves as clearly as others do. It’s the flaws we can't see and these are the areas that can impact performance.

While many permanent CFOs excel at managing day-to-day finances, an Interim CFO often brings a broader strategic perspective.
