Synopsis: If 'people are our greatest asset', why are those responsible for them so rarely invited to sit at the very top table? This book provides a unique insight into the role of the senior HR executive in the C-Suite. Wright, a seasoned HR leader who has been there and done that at the very highest level, sets out the skill set needed to transition from a senior specialist in HR to a C-Suite executive delivering strategic impact. He then shows how senior HR executives can build strong working relationships with the CEO, the executive team, and other members of the board of directors. With global case studies, sage advice based on first-hand experience and interviews with HR professionals from a range of industries and locations, Wright shows you how to earn, and keep, a seat in the board room.
