  1.     HR Leaders can develop business know-how

The value of HR leaders does not solely lay in their technical expertise, but how they draw from this technical expertise and broader business knowledge and experience to influence and collaborate with other organizational leaders to impact change and influence key stakeholders.

HR leaders should initiate, maintain and manage value-creating relationships whether it is with senior executives, front line workers, customers or competitors. Through their unique skills: conflict management, negotiation, coaching, mentoring, and addressing the human and social aspects of work HR Leaders are best equipped to manage meaningful relationships within the organization.

  1.     HR leaders should think and act beyond the boundaries of HR

HR leaders could strategically improve their value and competitive advantage by developing generic leadership skills and advocating for their own leadership development opportunities. They are typically responsible for identifying, assessing and developing leadership potential and competency in the workforce, but rarely have the chance to develop leadership on a corporate level themselves.

Often specialties such as learning and development, selection and recruitment, compensation and benefits, and HRIS are typically polarized, diversified and there is little cooperation between them. HR Leader should recognize the need to coordinate those functions and ensure that all people strategies are aligned within the HR department and with the overall business strategy therefore creating value for the whole organization.
