This time of year always brings back deeply engrained memories of being a Head of People with 1,001 things to get done before year end… Not least, booking hotels and taxis for the Christmas party… because, obviously that’s the role of a strategic leader in the business, right?! Oh f*ck. No. No it isn’t. I guess I should have pushed back on that, “can you just” request It took me too long to learn to speak the commercial language of the business, set the correct boundaries, visualise and prioritise my work (the real strategic work, not the admin work) It was only when I started doing those things that the “can you just” requests, turned to “can you?join” requests... Can you join… this meeting and give us your thoughts on X Can you join… this call, I want your input on Y Can you join… our morning huddle and talk to us about Z Imagine that, being seen as a trusted peer whose opinion was not only respected but requested by the c-suite?! Someone else organised the Christmas party the following year. The reason it took so long to make the shift from support to strategic HR was that I didn’t have the language, the tools, or the strategy to change and I was always drowning in “busy work” to go out and find it If you feel the same way - don’t worry, I’ve got you I created the?People First.

?? I’ve been stuck in the “can you just…” cycle before, and it’s tough. Heading into 2025, I’m planning to focus on what really moves the needle and set better boundaries. Thanks for the reminder ??

It took me a while to realize that getting caught up in the small tasks doesn't move the needle. Once I started focusing on the big-picture strategy and saying no to the "can you just" requests, everything changed, Luke O'Mahoney

Such an insightful reflection! It's easy to get caught in the weeds of admin tasks, but true leadership in HR comes when we learn to focus on strategic initiatives that drive real business impact.
