Do finance leaders unlock potential in other individuals?

Leadership 1 Minute

Can you see the potential in others that they aren’t able to see themselves?

Are you helping others to become better versions of themselves?

Our success as leaders comes from and through the success and results being delivered by others. People value authenticity, being humble and not knowing it all in leaders.

The key prerequisite is the relationships with other individuals.

These were some of the great opening remarks from the interview with Jenny Okonkwo for the 26th conversation of
#GlobalLeadershipHypothesiss – what makes a great leader?”.

Some of the other key themes and insights:

❇️Technical skills are more muted in senior positions

❇️ Using your privilege as a leader to enable access for others

❇️ Encouraging others to speak up

❇️ Differing inputs + differing perspectives = enriched outcomes

❇️Managing the diversity and complexity of a diverse team is a growth opportunity for a leader

❇️Focus on what you can control

❇️Culturally intelligent leaders = awareness of biases & levels of privilege + inclusive traits,

❇️Self-awareness = awareness of own & team strengths and weaknesses

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.
