Why this book over others
Most books on finance leadership focus only on frameworks, theories, or technical accounting. The CFO Playbook goes beyond the numbers. Sambasivan G brings over 35 years of real-world experience and shares insights he has lived, not just studied.
Unlike generic management guides, this playbook combines strategy, operations, automation, and stakeholder management with personal lessons on leadership, decision-making, and transformation.
This makes it not only a guide for CFOs but also an essential resource for finance professionals, business leaders, and anyone aspiring to make an impact through financial leadership.
With a foreword by Harit Nagpal, MD & CEO of Tata Play, The CFO Playbook goes beyond finance. It is a guide to leadership, transformation, and making a lasting impact.
