读后感：
－我们这边CMA做到中小公司CFO 或BOD 成员的不少，设置看来CMA 课程和职业培训有值得CGA 学习的地方。
－高级经验协会要求模糊，自个儿不能模糊。债务大多数人要出来还的，当然有小部分幸运者。:)
－经济开始好转，有不少机遇。部门扩张有机会。部门缩减，任务重了，同样可以作为法码和老板商量换头衔。
-如果在工作中有外包的任务，争取拿过来，小小的PM，也可以作为管理工作的开始？

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛OPEX的TEAM来了个新DIRECTOR， 她的一项新要求是 to develop a new report or a big table to show $$ variance not only by cost group but also by function group, e.g Sales, Mktg on one page. When the team manager talked with me about this requirement, I was a little surprised. “--- you don’t have this before?” No, they did not have such a report before. Each analyst in the group covers a couple function groups and provides var analysis by cost groups. I once read the final consolidated var. That’s a long, long list. The report (a big table) actually gives much of the information in one minute. One can pinpoint the issue right away and ask meaningful questions. Now, it is so obvious, but I guess when we work month after month, following the same routine, it is hard to jump out of the circle and pick the “low hanging fruits”.
BTW, some gossip of the new director. She is said to be very smart. Actually, she is so sharp that the team manger was surprised to see a cat’s picture on her desk. The team manager said she couldn’t imagine CC, the director to be associated with any small animals. I was somewhat jaw-dropping when heard this. This brings me to think about another question. How smart is smart enough, especially for a leader? I myself had the experiences of working for a top-notch director. Occasionally, I found myself intimidated or frustrated by his responses and expectations. As an analyst, a contributor, I am much more productive and happier when work with another manager who is not as sharp or “quick” as that director. As a manager, will that be more important to coach and lead a team to perform? I don’t have the answer yet.

At the end, I would like Toysrus and other前辈 to shed more light on the topic of “business acumen”. After experiencing several organizational chagnes including diventure, I can tell this is a essantial quality for any senior finance/accounting professional, not a cliché on job description.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

I believe different person have different personality and strength. I could not agree with that a good manage should be very smart. Generally a very smart person would be very picky as she/he knows much more, even sometimes their thinking is much more complicated than normal. I am not kidding, it is true. :) You would feel really uncomfortable under such demanding person.So what should you do? Should you change all your style to match with your manager or you just want to keep your strength? I believe it is really hard to change your style.
