Do they have the right skills and the ability to deliver?
Are they motivated and inspired to do it? #Leaders play a very critical role in assessing all these questions” Arif Kamal from the 24th video of the series “#GlobalLeadershipHypothesis – what makes a great leader?”
Great leaders empower the people going on the journey with them, so they are motivated enough and inspired to deliver themselves. Leaders recognise they need to delegate and can’t do everything themselves.
Other elements of the conversation:
❇️Own motivation & certainty on your capabilities and abilities
❇️ Inspiring, confident and a good communicator
❇️ Leaders create more leaders & aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty
❇️ Someone is never too junior to play a role or contribute
❇️Getting answers & unlocking the brilliance of the team
❇️Fear of the unknown holds leaders back
❇️Adapting & viewing failure as doing things differently
❇️Being a lifelong learner & thrive on change
❇️Importance of establishing culture through role modelling

I understand the pressures facing finance professionals: Prioritisation, career progression, leadership & people dynamics.
For a third of my career, I was operating at only half my potential. I was differentiating myself through my analytical mind. I had not yet learnt how to be a transformational and inspiring people leader. I realised from working with thousands of leaders for some big brands; Investec, KPMG and BMW, that greater impact can be found through a focus on people and leadership dynamics. I am an experienced C-Suite executive, non-executive director, entrepreneur, author and international speaker with more than 22 years of corporate experience. As the former CFO and CHRO of BMW UK Ltd. and BMW Financial Services Ltd., I understand the financial language of business, strategy, and risk and the pressures facing finance professionals. My vision is to help organisations and leaders to engage their people effectively. I have led and implemented award-winning cultural transformation programmes in multiple industries. I published my first book, “The Authenticity Dilemma Resolved®” in November 2016; which captures my experiences of working with thousands of leaders to increase their confidence and help them bring more of their real selves to all interactions to become inspiring, transformational leaders. I am passionate about helping to develop the generation of finance leaders; who have the mindset to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
