Recommendation

Human resources stalwarts Dave Ulrich, Jon Younger, Wayne Brockbank and Mike Ulrich articulate an authentically new level of leadership for HR, one that will vault HR professionals to the forefront of decision making in their organizations. The authors encourage HR leaders to expand their scope to include crucial external stakeholders. “Working from the outside in” means determining – not simply implementing – strategy; shaping the corporate culture, not just upholding it; and using information technology to seize opportunities. getAbstract is confident that this book will deliver a clear advantage to any HR professional or leader. The HR world stands on the brink of transformation and, this time, companies are asking HR to lead the way.

Take-Aways

  • Expand your focus beyond HR integration, beyond being a business partner and beyond strategy to encompass deep knowledge of the “business of the business.”
  • Know your business’s global framework and its shifting political, societal, economic, cultural and technological landscapes.
  • Widen your scope to include outside stakeholders: clients, investors, partners, and more so you can “work from the outside in.”
