Great blog, can (obviously) totally resonate. Very helpful in addition to “minding my own business”. I will soon be an expert change agent.

Comment on The 7 Laws of Seat-at-the-Table HR by Julie Lynch

Great advice, Joe. You hit on a crucial piece here – presentation. As I’ve said before, HR folks who “get” the business have an uphill battle fighting the legacy notions of HR being in the way. The onus is on HR to understand the business goals and clearly present the connections between their recommended HR initiatives in support of those goals. Articulate the business goals, recommend initiatives to support them, identify the anticipated ROI and – I’ll go a step further – be held accountable for the results. As Seth Godin said in a recent post: “For fifty years, people have been proclaiming that they’re intimates, part of the story, a key component of the success of the Beatles… Just as there are people who would like you to believe that they were instrumental in this startup, that project or the other initiative. Success has many parents, failure few. Here’s the deal: you don’t get to be part of the success narrative unless you were fully exposed if there was going to be a failure narrative instead.”

Nice piece Julie. HR managers would more often be viewed as executives if they followed this advice. Add or change? I could see expanding Law 5 to speak to the importance of alignment of objectives and results to the same core objectives of the executive team. Specifically including growth, profitability and value creation. HR as a definite impact, but even to this day, HR leadership too often fails to make the connection; especially in its presentation
