Inside The Mentoring Round, CFO Dennis Johnson advises new CFOs to build out their network with other CFOs, especially in the early days of their role. Johnson tells us his network is today a valuable platform for sharing best practices, challenges, and solutions. It helps in realizing that others face similar issues, and it can be a source of support and guidance, reducing the feeling of isolation often experienced in the CFO role. Meanwhile, Johnson encourages new CFOs to manage the company in a way that is nimble and adaptable to change. He emphasizes the importance of having contingency plans for various scenarios, both positive and negative.
