From the course: Focusing on the Bottom Line as an Employee
Jane's wake-up call
- Okay, so this is a little embarrassing to share. I was a manager at a fairly young age and I'd also studied business, so I knew how to read a spreadsheet and make a forecast, and I was feeling really good about my financial prowess. But sometimes my attitude and my behavior could definitely hold me back. For example, I had a relationship at that point with financial partners that was a little more like, I make the money and you guys count the money, which in hindsight is horrific and very short-sighted. My boss at the time was very gentle in his schooling of me and shared with how careers are made and broken based on financial performance, and should I want to be a successful executive I really have to figure out how to have great relationships with my finance partners. So, to this day I'm very grateful, thanks boss.
