This book was created for financial services professionals who seek to excel at their trade and become outstanding performers in their fields. The ability to crunch numbers is the first and very essential skill that a credit or financial analyst learns. Yet, this skill is only a small fraction of your success story. This book synthesizes timeless knowledge within the five key qualities that are not taught or discussed in organizations. Why? Businesses and managers do not have the skills, patience, and motivation to continuously educate their less tenured colleagues on matters that are hard to quantify. This is where this book is intended to make a difference. It was written based on the author’s and many other individuals’ decades of business experiences that can only be described as learning from your own bumps and bruises. The goal is to provide you with the expertise that will make your learning more effective and you, personally, more successful than you would be on your own. While a source of qualitative information, this book should not be confused with motivational or other similar books. This book is for individuals who aspire to be at the top of their field and want to benefit from the advice that is rarely shared. The rest is up to you.
