Hi Frank,

First time I’m reading your blog. Got it through a link that came through Fistful of Talent. Love the list! Full of strength and power.

My field is LD and I do a lot of work with Hi-Pos in Asia. I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on how they think this kind of HR focus would work in HR in other countries – Japan, China?

Thanks again! I’ll be back for more.

These are great simple tenets to follow. So basic but looked over many times.

[...] ‘doing it’s job’. Which, ironically, is what it made me think about. So, which post? – 10 Tenets for the New HR at KnowHR.com. It’s provoked numerous comments already, but I’m going to humbly offer another [...]

All good stuff and very laudable. Point 10 is a nail squarely struck. But don’t points 1 and 6 beg a point 11 – “We’re going to work with line managers so they know how to manage and develop and inspire people rather than thinking that’s entirely up to us”. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day and all that … ?

When you look at learning transfer – and actual business performance improvment – line managers are one of the key factors: the ones that don’t engage are a big obstacle. And they can tend to use HR as their ‘excuse’ for not actively encouraging their reports in learning, development and application.

I’m not one for firework displays, but there are some line managers in this world who would benefit from a judiciously positioned rocket

My goodness I am a believer of these tenets- now if only I can get management to see it like that…

@Tina…sounds like we’re on the same path is right…you’re doing the cool thing. Nothing wrong with people — real people — doing real work. I like HR people who believe in their fellow employees. Without empathy, it’s just HR as a babysitter, and that just doesn’t work.

Right on!! I am completely on the same path as you. I do a seminar on the “human” in human resources…and only a handful of HR people truly get it. This issue in HR is a GIGANTIC problem. When I have to hire for my firm….I receive hundreds of resumes….especially now….and often it will take me months to find a seasoned HR person with business sense mixed with a little human empathy.

I will follow your blog. Thanks man!! Love the tunes!!!

Ben, as a matter of fact, we’re putting this into a pamphlet. I’ll get it to you first because you asked, buddy!
