“Leaders need to put their money where their mouths are and let HR do its real job: elevating people management to the same level of professionalism and integrity as financial management.” - Guess who? (hat tip - Max again!)
Excellent Welch piece with typically bracing insight such as this excerpt:
"HR should be every company's "killer app". What could possibly be more important than who gets hired, developed, promoted or moved out the door?
After all, business is a game, and as with all games, the team who puts the best people on the field and gets them playing together, wins.
It's that simple.
You would never know that, though, to look at the companies today where the CFO reigns supreme and HR is relegated to the background. It just doesn't make sense.
If you owned Real Madrid, for instance, would you hang around with the team accountant or the director of player personnel?
Sure, the accountant can tell you the financials.
But the director of player personnel knows what it takes to win: how good each player is and where to find strong recruits to fill talent gaps.
That's what HR should be all about. And, as you point out, it's usually not."
