Eric Alexander has written a wonderful how-to manual for anyone responsible for finance – not just CFOs.  From broad principles like stewardship to the most important elements that separate high performing from low-performing finance leaders, he covers it all.  It is also immensely readable and easy to follow.  If you are a finance professional, buy this book.  If you are a CEO, buy it for your finance team to foster better conversations and deeper insight!
