TOP SCHOOL JOB'S

K-12 MANAGER

What Makes
a Great Talent
Manager?
Last week, Ron Ashkenas wrote a piece
on Harvard Business Review called, "Stop
Bashing HR," in which he discusses why HR
is important and how it can add value to an
organization. He begins this article with several
quotes from HBR readers who expressed a
less than favorable view of HR in response to
another blog from Brian Hults of Rubbermaid,
"Why HR Really Does Add Value." Here is a
sample:
"I have yet to see HR add value to any
organization."
"[HR] is more often an obstacle that needs
to be navigated to complete real business
processes."
"The fact that the author essentially
advocates turning HR into something that
would be called 'strategic planning and
integration' is exhibit A as to the complete
uselessness of HR..."
My opinion? These conversations make
me laugh. Unfortunately, I don't think this
debate over the value of HR will ever end,
at least not in the near future. We have HR
people (like me) fighting daily for respect,
importance, and relevance, while others rely
on personal experiences with incompetent and
untrustworthy HR professionals to rationalize
that all HR is worthless.
It's true that not all HR people are created
equal. I know some that personify all those
complaints. They're not easy to work with, don't
listen, can't relate to their colleagues, and know
very little about their organizations.
So, what makes a good HR person? For more
than two decades, Dave Ulrich and Wayne
Brockbank of the Ross School of Business at
the University of Michigan have studied what
knowledge, skills, abilities, and other qualities
(also known as competencies) are necessary
for someone to be highly successful in the HR
field. They have surveyed more than 20,000
individuals from all over the globe on what it
"means to be an effective HR professional and
how to build an effective HR department."
Ulrich and Brockbank came up with six
competencies:
* "Strategic positioners who understand
evolving business contexts, stakeholder
expectations, and business requirements
and translate them into talent, culture, and
leadership actions."
* "Credible activists who build relationships of
trust and have a clear point of view about how
to build business performance."
