Recommendation

As the title suggests, teams trump individuals. After analyzing more than 32,000 survey responses worldwide, authors Dave Ulrich, David Kryscynski, Wayne Brockbank and Mike Ulrich present evidence that while great HR professionals matter, they quadruple their impact when they organize into effective HR departments. The latest in a trilogy based on the authors’ groundbreaking, three-decades long “HR Competency Studies” (HRCS), this entry wraps up material in the series’ previous excellent books. Of course, few teams have contributed more to HR literature than Dave Ulrich and Brockbank. getAbstract thinks that any leader or HR professional – especially those who haven’t read the first two volumes – will savor these insights from an incredible 30 years of original research.

Take-Aways

  • The fast-evolving business world needs nimble, skilled HR pros at the highest levels.
  • Effective HR units align competent professionals around shared business goals.
  • Surveys conducted with tens of thousands of organizations worldwide identified nine key HR competencies.

    Muszą też czuć że mamy kompetencje do podejmowania decyzji. Kompetentny hr musi rozumieć pozycję dyrektorów.
