THE ONE RULE MOST FINANCIAL MANAGERS BREAK MOST

The single biggest challenge facing Financial Managers today is change—change is pervasive and ongoing and adapting to change and staying ahead of the curve of change can be challenging and lead to critical mistakes at worst.

While Financial Managers can face an overwhelming amount of choices every day, the one rule they break most is making decisions using out-dated information and data.

Whether your Financial Manager is handling personnel or managing the assets of the company having the latest data at their fingertips to ensure the best decisions can be made is critical. While this may sound obvious, many Financial Managers can be overwhelmed and fail to confirm that the data they have on an employee or investment is the latest available.

Before a proper choice can be made, successful critical thinking requires Financial Managers to clearly define the outcome they are looking for, then acquire the latest data to ensure they can sift and sort through the most viable options before deciding on a direction.

Without the proper data, it’s easy for Financial Managers to treat employees in the same way and/or fail to assess personnel or situations as individuals or unique situations which can lead to sweeping choices with poor results.
