but that puts you in a minority of students with an interest in business. according to a survey from the center for audit quality, 32 percent of students who chose not to major in accounting said lack of interest or passion was the main reason, and 70 percent said it was at least part of the reason.

every day, i see or hear criticisms of the accounting profession: everyone is burning out, the partners are only in it to get rich, everyone is leaving the profession, and students don’t want to be accountants anymore. it wrenches my heart to hear this because i love my work. i’ve had a wonderful career that lets me help others succeed, and the broader accounting profession has opened up opportunities that i would never have dreamed possible. is accounting really on the decline? ask the pundits, and you get a resounding “yes!”

yet, reading simon sinek’s book, the infinite game, shed some light on what the profession is doing wrong—the current leaders of the profession are playing a finite game. one of the key concepts that sinek explains in his book is that of an existential flex. he described an existential flex as something that “recreates that passion for something new at a time when the company is already enjoying success.” this is where the accounting profession is now. we’ve enjoyed decades of success, and accounting firm partners and cfos have been enjoying the riches of that success, but our profession has lost the connection to our just cause.

bissett bullet: be intentional

today’s bissett bullet: “when you reach retirement and look back on your career, how would you like to be remembered?

as a leader who invested in and developed their people?”

by martin bissett
