CIMA Research initiative: Leadership
Making change happen in organisations is seen as an essential element of management accounting that can make the difference between success and failure.
It is a form of leadership that can be exercised at any level of management. CIMA’s intention is to study leadership in the context of the management accountant and their careers and how they interact with the organisation to make change happen.
More broadly, CIMA’s intention is also to identify common characteristics across management accountants who do and don’t reach senior levels of management and to identify the prerequisites to reaching those influential positions, as well as the barriers. Most people will not get to CEO level, but nonetheless have the opportunity to lead effectively within their organisations.
