Nearly all new C-level executives find that they will likely have to replace some people on their team and recruit new leaders. As you rebuild your team, what traits and qualities will you look for? What indicators might help you identify higher-potential staff and likely “A” players?
Several years ago, I had the privilege of interviewing a number of leading women CFOs on their journey to leadership (see The journey to CFO: Perspectives from women leaders). Across our interviews, these women identified key traits underlying their success as CFOs. By “trait,” I mean a natural or cultivated characteristic or propensity toward a specific form of behavior.
