David Griffiths was commissioned by the Indiana CPA Society to explore the core competencies of being an excellent CPA and then create a resource to advance agility and adaptability in the profession. I find it to be a terrific resource for overall development of leadership skills. Replace “CPA” with lawyer and the majority of this content is directly applicable. The charts and appendices are terrific “how to’s” that are easy to follow. Two examples:
- Synthesizing intelligence to insight is connecting expertise in information and translating it to business acumen
- Succession planning dashboard provides a quick glimpse into progress for mid-level employees (associates) to advance.
