Elevating the HR Function

Elevating the HR Function
In Chapter 1 of The Talent Masters, Conaty and Charan recount a story about “Sue” that illustrates how a strong alignment between HR and senior leadership should work. They follow this example with an outline of 7 principles which are critical to developing talent and earning HR a “seat at the table.”
After reading this story and reflecting on the principles, answer the following questions:
• How well do these 7 principles, if properly implemented, address the concerns raised in this week’s readings? Cite specific examples to support your position.
• Rank these 7 principles from 1 (easiest) to 7 (most difficult), based on how easily a company could implement them. Explain the rationale for your rankings.
• If you had to choose just one of these principles that would have the greatest positive impact on your own organization, which would it be and why?
