Be A Guide Not A Miracle Maker.
Human Resources (HR) Director:
Strive to understand the business and industry you are in as well as you understand HR. Delegate effectively, let go and be comfortable allowing calculated mistakes so that staff can learn. Don't be a micro manager, develop your team and plan for succession for short, mediun and long term scenarios. Be an active listener. Don't take on solving employee issues, guide and coach employees to help and empower them to resolve. Don't avoid or delay difficult decisions, conversations or actions. Be honest and candid, don't sugar coat difficult feedback. It is helpful when having difficult discussion to let the indiviudal know your approach is to be honest and candid. Ask they are open to hearing feedback they might not like. Your team's productivity and effectiveness is a direct reflect of your ability to lead. Accept responsibility for their performance and focus on their development, engagement and listen.
