Maestro-level leaders and their CFO
Episode #49 of the Third Turn Podcast with Arnie Hendricks
Arnie Hendricks has 30 years of senior financial management experience and distinct perspectives and approaches within the finance role. He currently serves in an exit-planning consultant and in part-time CFO roles as Principal of Financial Management Resources.
Arnie urges that especially for the Third Turn leader/CEO, it’s critical to distinguish between finance roles and contributions--which are more transactional and reporting-based, and which are more strategic and focused on business building and enterprise value. At this key strategic juncture, it’s critical that a CEO partner with a strong and strategic CFO who can assist in the strategic outlook of the company, help model into the coming years, and identify corresponding capital requirements.
In this conversation, Arnie helps us suss out and distinguish the dynamics in play within various finance roles, and also strongly advocates for emotional intelligence as a key contribution in the CFO role. His extensive experience and perspective shared here will serve as a helpful reference point wherever you find yourself in the three turns of leadership, and especially if you’re a Third Turn leader turning into the work of developing future value--financial and beyond.
