Human Resources Leaders
“Culture drives a new CEO's success as he/she assimilates into a new organization as much as the individual's leadership toolbox. The chief human resources officer can provide 'straight-talk' to the CEO to break down the silos and boundaries that get in the way of change.”
Frederick W. Wackerle, The Right CEO – Straight Talk About Making Tough CEO Selection Decisions, Jossey-Bass 2001
As an HR leader, continuously improving the level of talent in the organization and unlocking its value is your strategic responsibility. With increasing shortages in workforce talent and the need to rapidly maximize the contribution of new leaders and teams, you are looking for practical, creative, and measurable solutions that retain and increase the contribution of talented people within your organization, while simultaneously reducing the financial and non-financial costs of ineffective transitions.
Has your organization ever experienced the following problems?
- A newly appointed leader repeatedly demonstrates poor judgment during his first 30 days, alienating his team and stakeholders to the extent that they withdraw their support and/or leave the organization.
- An important cross-functional team is formed but hasn't met its objectives within the necessary timeframes, causing a significant business problem to worsen.
- Your leadership team doesn't have the time or inclination to focus on developing new leaders, and external resources are needed to "jump start" or achieve change initiatives
- Your human resources team is stretched by multiple initiatives and adding a specialized resource would expand your effectiveness and build team capabilities.
We can accelerate your strategic accomplishments with practical, creative, and measurable contributions to meeting leadership development objectives when you need to create a new team, turn around a department or business unit, improve an onboarding process, or coach newly appointed leaders.
Workshops and Presentations
As thought leaders in this emerging human capital discipline, we also present research and best practices at organizational events, professional association meetings, and web casts for leading organizations such as the Human Capital Institute.
