Types Of People Who Fail In Finance Part III

  • The Apathetic Cyborg

Apathetic cyborgs do not care; they will work only as much as needed to prevent being fired – nothing more. In a setting where people are rushing to meet deadlines, the apathetic cyborg never displays passion. Don’t bother telling him or her anything of importance, as it’s going out the other ear.

  • Why they fail:

The apathetic cyborg is perpetually uninformed. It doesn’t matter if the CFO repeatedly blasts emails about the importance of complying with Sarbanes-Oxley, or that 12% is the new cost of equity for the company. The apathetic cyborg risks non-compliance with critical regulatory statutes, or provides field operators with the wrong cost of equity percentages to use to evaluate new projects. Because the apathetic cyborg is out of the loop, pretty soon he or she be out of the company.

  • Parting Thoughts

If you want to succeed in finance and within your organization, constantly gather feedback from your peers and managers. There are unique issues and objectives that are critical within finance: teamwork, meeting deadlines on reports, alignment with organizational objectives, excel prowess and clear understanding of initiatives (Sarbanes-Oxley compliance). If you know where you stand, you will be in a position to take concrete action to improve certain areas. Finance is a competitive field and there are not that many chances given to those who are on the radar for getting the boot.

Electronic Newsletter

The electronic newsletter or e-newsletter is proprietary tool of e-mail marketing is a publication distributed regularly via email to people who previously have subscribed to it.

The publication of a newsletter, usually focuses on a topic of interest to the subscriber, and usually take the form of an article (for example, an article on advice to do something), news (eg opening of new premises or the approximation of an event), novelty (eg, launching a new product or promotion), or a promotion (eg coupons that can be printed and redeemed later.)

Marketing News for Advancement

Experience has taught me that marketing news and media news are worth reading if you are in the advertising field. I have learned more by reading about top-level executives in these fields than I ever earned in college. Don’t get me wrong, education is important, but practical knowledge is essential.

By reading online marketing news and online media news, I see what these people, who are at the top of their field, did to be effective in their career. Their experiences are leaning experiences for me as one day I want to be in a position of power in an advertising or media company.

I am not so naive to think that my experiences will in any match their experiences in the field as I know the advertising and media fields constantly change. I am keeping up with all of these changes by reading the news every morning before heading off to work. You never know what you will fin that can be useful today, or in the future.

One day I will be a Senior Marketing VP, and I will not stop reading the news even then. Staying stagnate in your career is easy when you are complacent, and not willing to learn new things. While I don’t have the money yet to further my education, I am learning as much as I can for free online by downloading white papers.,etc, anything I can to learn more about the business.
