How I developed HR Teams – Center of Excellence

When developing an HR team:

1. I always understand the team development needs and strengthens 2. Have a clear objective of where I want to go with the team3. I develop 3 things:

o Passion – Have HR passion to never stop knocking on doors for opportunities to engage

o Intellect – Smart enough to know what the right thing to do is and be politically savvy to know what not the right thing to do is.

o Curiosity – Driven enough to always want to make things better – continuous improvements

4. Make decisions quickly but correctly – get the right people on the team bus 5. Surround myself with people who are better & have confidence6. HR people that are self-motivation is key

Being part of a winning team:

1. If have the right people, the function will drive itself2. Culture has to be demonstrated – it’s not that easy to “create”3. Do 100 things 1% better – aggregation of small things – detailed orientation4. Being in a great team means constantly challenging yourself and your teammates

Leading an HR Team:

1. A great team starts with the right leader – driven & belief & humility & respect2. Create a HR team that wants to support each other3. Create lots of team activities – some social 4. Core values – honesty, discipline, work rate, presence and deliverables5. If something is wrong, ask “what do we have & what can we turn it into?”6. Give people the belief that they can do it – lead from the front7. Build a group of people (team) you can truly trust and trust you8. Regularly audit yourself – are you giving the best to your people and they in return9. Think correctly under pressure – be a leader, show confidence, poise and results.
