Helping Leaders Master Business Acumen and Product Management - Best-selling author, speaker, and advisor to senior leaders.
Business Acumen is the Missing Link in HR Excellence - Everyone knows who their HR reps are in their companies.?Most know that you can call someone with a payroll or benefits problem.?If you’re a hiring manager, you can ask for help with a recruitment request or with a job description.?Sure, it’s easy to utilize these HR resources for these transactions, but these are the easy things.??Over the years, executives have talked about the need to transform a significant portion of the HR function from the transactions mentioned above, into strategic business partners. In my opinion, there’s a business acumen gap. Despite having deep expertise in HR practices, many HR professionals struggle to translate their initiatives into business value. They often find themselves speaking a different language than their C-suite colleagues, focusing on HR metrics while executives discuss market share, profit margins, and competitive advantage. This disconnect can severely limit HR's ability to influence strategic decisions and drive organizational change. I wrote a book called Business Acumen for HR Professionals.?Perhaps HR leaders will find value in this. If this is a topic that is important to you or your company, reach out to me. I’m making 50 copies available at no cost, because I’m willing to invest in your education. #shrm #humanresoucemanagement #leadership #HR #success #humanresources https://lnkd.in/efH2-NeG
