Are you curious?

As a CFO, aside from our Jedi-like spreadsheet abilities, we're often leaned on for our judgement and decision making. However, these skills alone are not going to enable your business to achieve its goals.

We must continue to develop and use our critical thinking, which we were first introduced to at school. And to do this we must be curious in our approach to decision-making. Actively seeking each angle before we pass judgement will unlock value each time we exercise this strategy - in every interaction and with every deliverable we can contribute valuably: to profits, to purpose and to people.

Check out this article by Patrick Mullane of Harvard Business School, which explains the curious approach far more eloquently.
