The Modern People Leader: Forward-Thinking HR

CHAPTER

Lack of Communication and Mentorship for HR Leaders

This chapter discusses the challenges faced by HR professionals when their ideas are shut down by CEOs without any explanation or room for discussion. They highlight the importance of having a CEO who is open to push back and engage in open discussions. They also mention the drain and frustration felt by many people leaders who are not being heard and are unable to have meaningful conversations. They emphasize the need for empathy, asking the right questions, and advocating for their perspectives while understanding that the final decision lies with the CEO. They also express the desire for better resources and mentorship for HR leaders to navigate difficult times and drive innovation in the people function.
