“Strategic pivots” are all the rage—and a necessity for more CEOs. But how you get to the point of launching a major change in strategy, and how you execute it, can be just as important as the pivot you make. Think about transformation decisions CEOs are making all over the place these days. They’re reacting to technology disruptions, drastic market shifts, restive customers, the accelerating swirls of domestic politics and global events—and more. These things can produce highly consequential new challenges or breathtaking new opportunities, and leaders must lean into both. “Thirty percent of any given sector is in transformation…

Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools the modern CFO has. Investors, employees, and the board of directors are bombarded with quantitative and qualitative information on an hourly basis. By leveraging the art of storytelling, CFOs can deliver a message that stands out — transforming drab financial data into a compelling narrative that resonates with stakeholders, inspires action, and builds trust. But even the most skilled communicators often don't think of themselves as storytellers. Peers, direct reports, and other stakeholders often see CFOs as people who “say what they want and do what they say.” In fact, many CFOs…

Developing leadership talent is never easy, but it has always been possible. Large companies like Merck, Edward Jones, PepsiCo, and Walmart have honed their brands, cultures, and bottom lines by becoming leadership talent factories. Lesser known companies like Fifth Third Bank, Gundersen Health, and KBR have similarly, but more quietly, built and sustained leadership development efforts from within to accumulate great leaders who are equipped to move forward as the business demands. Organizations with strong talent bases have long been a minority, but in recent years, leadership factories have become even rarer. In 2011, 18 percent of organizations worldwide reported…

Cybersecurity vendor CrowdStrike caused a global IT outage a week ago that had nothing to do with hackers or malware, and therefore nothing to do with security.
