LEADERSHIP SKILLS FOR HR MANAGERS
Introduction
In many organizations HR, as a function, is not invited to sit at the decision making table and participate in designing and implementing corporate strategies. The main reason behind this is top management’s perception of HR as a lower value function compared to other functions in the organization, and its belief that HR professionals are not adequately equipped with the necessary skills and competencies to play that all important strategic role.
