The HR Catalyst - eBook

The changing world of work is placing new and greater demands on people, teams and entire organisations. Corporate support functions have tried and unfortunately more-often-than-not, failed to become strategic business partners to assist their businesses, at the very least, to respond to such disruptions and technological advances. 

It's now time for at least one of those functions to make the step-change it’s been on the cusp of for so long …….. Human Resources – a function so under-rated yet so full of potential.  

For too long HR professionals the world-over have battled the tension of competing demands like no other function in organisations – CEOs want HR strategists; frontline leaders want HR generalists, all the while individuals working in HR often can’t articulate specifically what it is they want and/or need to be.  The time is ripe to unleash the HR Catalyst.

In The HR Catalyst: The New Practice of Leading HR, Callum McKirdy unpacks the keystone traits that successful HR practitioners of the future must exhibit to successfully navigate change as the world we live in alters at an ever-increasing rate – regardless of context or industry.

The HR Catalyst offers the reader an opportunity to:

• Understand what the BIG picture of HR leadership is and why it matters (and how this has changed from traditional strategy);

• Surrender and let go of what no longer matters, what no longer serves your practice of HR or is not taking you forward as an influential HR leader;

• Focus and gain traction with what you are trying to achieve with your own HR practice;

• Build deeper, better, more sustainable and rewarding working relationships and connections; and,

• Develop an effective and authentic HR brand by unleashing who you really are.
