AQ for finance leaders
What do you do when there is no playbook?  Many finance leaders have built their careers on accuracy, clarity and control. But today’s operating climate is defined by uncertainty rather than stability.  Market turbulence, rapid advances in AI, organisational redesign and ongoing talent constraints are converging at the same time.  In this context, success depends on more than just IQ or EQ. It now also hinges on your adaptability quotient (AQ).  In this episode, explore how finance professionals can build the capability to work confidently through ambiguity while preserving the discipline and standards that underpin strong accounting practice.  You will learn:  the difference between adaptability quotient (AQ) and adaptive leadership  why change feels harder today and how complexity affects performance  how to use the observation, interpretation and intervention model  practical ways to avoid common thinking traps such as catastrophising and blame  how to create psychological safety without lowering standards  tools such as the balcony and dance floor perspective and the productive zone of disequilibrium.  If you want to strengthen resilience, improve decision-making and lead confidently through uncertainty, this episode offers practical steps you can apply immediately.  Host: Tahn Sharpe, Editor, CPA Australia.  Guests: Catherine Althaus, professor at UNSW Canberra, and Kathryn McEwen, organisational psychologist.  For more information, head to Kathryn McEwen’s website.  Loving this episode?  Listen to more INTHEBLACK episodes and other CPA Australia podcasts on YouTube.  And don’t forget to click subscribe to the channel for a wide range of content that will help your career.  CPA Australia publishes four podcasts, providing commentary and thought leadership across business, finance and accounting:   With Interest  INTHEBLACK  INTHEBLACK Out Loud  Excel Tips  Search for them in your podcast platform. Email the podcast team at podcasts@cpaaustralia.com.au
