The Top Qualities and Characteristics of Great HR Leaders
by John Hollon 以下是Dr. John Sullivan，一位有着30多年人力资源管理生涯的资深HR，给我们讲述他对于人力资源领导者应该具备的品质和特点的一些观点和认识。
Don t be shocked, but Dr. John Sullivan has some strong opinions about what leadership means to HR. He says he s frequently asked, is there a shortage of HR leaders? and, what does it take to be a leader in HR? Here are some of the characteristics he believes are essential for all HR leaders: 1 HR must be a leader, not simply a business partner. You have to be out in front and going first, but when you do go first there s no manual to read, there s no book to read, there s no one to benchmark against so if you are the first organization doing something, it s difficult there s some risk involved, he says. 2 They ve worked in business. Dr. John points to a University of Michigan study that dug into what causes success in HR, and the No. 1 thing was knowledge of the business. If you ve worked in business, you are automatically more credible your ideas are listened to because you have worked in the trenches with employees. 3 Your top goal should be to increase productivity. Label yourself as a productivity consultant, Dr. John says. You should be able to give advice on how to improve productivity (and) take advantage of productivity opportunities. 4 You need to be proactive. Seek out problems and opportunities, he says; don t just wait for things to happen. 5 You make fact-based decisions. Instead of just guessing or doing what we did last year you make decisions based on (the current and relevant) facts, he says. 6 You convert your HR results to dollars. If you ve retained five people, Dr. John says, you can say your turnover rate went down, but what if you said you saved the company millions of dollars? 7 You innovate and take risks. You are always ready to try new things. 8 You prioritize and don t treat everyone the same way. The focus is on what business unit or what jobs are the most important. It s a narrower approach where only about
20 percent of the work gets a high priority. 9 You re metric-oriented. You rely heavily on measures because that s how you improve. What is a great leader? Dr. John asks. It s not a business partner; it s not someone who is trying to be equal it s someone who leads who leads the business, not just HR and they produce superior results as a result of that. 管理新知 您可能感兴趣的文章 培养新员工，你必须知道的13条铁则！
