It's Lonely at the Top

As I speak with CEOs across the country, there is something they share time and time again.

It’s lonely at the top.

The need to be an expert across all aspects of the business is just getting harder and more demanding.

Burnout is more common than you think.

It's an issue I'm vigorously passionate about.

As the CEO, you bear full responsibility for your company’s fate, but you don’t actually control most of what determines it.

You’re not really the boss…the Board or the owner is.

As the company’s biggest celebrity, everything you say or do will be instantly shared, scrutinised, or misinterpreted.

So, who do you trust?

What we hear in the media right now suggests we’re under attack.

Impending recession, skyrocketing inflation, rising interest rates, constraints on capital investment, quality people shortages, and the future of work just to name a few.

The world has changed.

We are living and working in a time of unprecedented volatility, uncertainty, complexity and change.

You need to trust your 'wartime' CFO to help navigate the choppy waters ahead and exploit the opportunities that exist to out-perform your competitors as the market improves.

Without the right support, you will come unstuck.

Deciding on who that person should be, and the positive impact they can make, is the most critical decision you will make.

The stakes are high.

Cultivate’s expertise is sourcing transformative CFOs for purpose-led organisations.

We are CFO experts, that’s all we do.

If you're a CEO looking for a transformative CFO you can trust, then we need to talk.
