Asking for Help: Leadership of the Future

Asking for Help: Leadership of the Future

Presented by Ed Schein, Professor Emeritus, MIT Sloan School of Management

Increasing complexity in all occupations, globalism, information technology and social responsibility all conspire to make the organization of the future a more multicultural entity in which teamwork and leadership will involve dealing with more occupational and national cultures. Tasks will be geographically dispersed requiring new concepts of how to develop teamwork when members come from different cultures and are not colocated. The use of new kinds of training settings such as cultural islands and dialogue will be required to enable such new teams to function. In all of these settings, the ability to ask for, accept and give help will be the crucial skill for leaders and members.

CEO’s Must Expect More from HR – Transforming HR into a Revenue Impact Function

March 1, 2012 By

HRPS Webcast
Tuesday, March 6, 2012 · 11:00am to 12:30pm EST
CEO’s Must Expect More from HR – Transforming HR into a Revenue Impact Function
Presented by Dr. John Sullivan, Talent Management Expert and Distinguished Author 

If you know anything about the strategic agendas of CEO’s, you are aware that they are focused on “topline” or revenue growth. Other business functions like marketing, sales, supply chain and product development have become corporate heroes and are highly resourced because they have demonstrated that they have a direct and measurable impact on this critical strategic goal.

For years, HR has been satisfied with being a “business partner” and merely striving to “align HR goals with the business’s goals.” Unfortunately, aiming so low may actually result in a self-fulfilling prophecy for HR. After this session, even HR traditionalists and skeptics will be able to see how this new focus could forever change what CEO’s expect from HR.

If you’re looking for strategic, bold and a fresh new way to approach HR, this session will highlight:

  • CEO agendas and what it takes to be considered a strategic function
  • How to prioritize HR resources and focus them on revenue impact activities
  • How to identify the individuals and the jobs that have the highest revenue impact
  • How to demonstrate your revenue impacts to skeptical executives
