Becoming a Strategic HR Asset for Diverse CEOs
A senior HR professional in a professional services firm had traditionally focused on people issues and development, which worked well in the company’s friendly culture until a new CEO came in. The new CEO dramatically changed the culture and opposed highly needed HR efforts to manage and develop talent in an extremely competitive market. Talent started leaving the company. Using Nova’s HR competency for Business Focus, the head of Human Resources became effective with the CEO and retained key talent. When that CEO was replaced and the reporting structure for HR changed again, the senior professional weathered the change smoothly and continued talent development plans.
