Leadership: A special report

In the October issue of Financial Director magazine, our cover story is a sector focus on FDs in the UK tourism industry and whether they can sustain the ‘staycation’ trend into a lasting recovery for the sector.

We have a special section on leadership looking at why FDs are being fired more frequently, a masterclass on how to deliver shareholder value from former Tomkins CFO Ken Lever, how to manage cost cutting, leading the finance function and why public sectors FDs should not face salary cuts.

Plus we have all the regular opinion and insight from our columnists in economics, being a non-executive director, IT and corporate governance; our guest columnist reflects on what value accounting standards have added to his life as an FD; and we bring you analysis on the latest outsourcing and data management stories.

If you have a suggestion on a topic to write on or a person you want us to interview, and you are an CFO or FD, you can contact the editor directly with your idea stating who you are and why this is of interest. Or if you are an FD or CFO and want to share your thought on a topic by way of writing our next guest column, let us know.
