Becoming a Trusted Advisor to the CEO
San Francisco, CA. November 8, 2012. Northern California Human Resources Association.
Every CEO dreams of a top management team with a shared vision that solves challenges in unison. Yet many C-suite leaders seem to care more about their own function than the company as a whole. HR leaders can play a crucial role in delivering a highly effective top team. But doing so takes a very different approach than to what many are accustomed.
The audience of HR leaders learned from a former CEO how to help their own CEOs better understand the dynamics of the executive team and the rest of the organization, how to reveal more about the pressures they face and how to create and maintain a high-performance leadership team. They left this session ready to become a business partner with other C-level executives — one who helps them boost their individual effectiveness to drive corporate performance. Presentation Slides are available from this event.
