HR



‘…I share all of this background and evidence to help defensive HR reps and their apologists understand why I criticize HR as a function, a department, a service — not the few brave individuals who buck the trend and act with decency.  Broad sweeping generalizations or stereotypes are only unfair if they are not true.  I’ve shown above why I can say that HR, with few exceptions, is a morally bankrupt internal organizational service that contemporary organizations should consider dropping’:

‘Of course, senior executives understand that HR is powerful – a bit like Mossad or the CIA’

‘good leaders care about results, not process’

‘Companies should start getting fit right now.  As Albert Einstein said: “Bureaucracy is the death of any achievement.”  When it is a question of survival, there is no room for the non-essential.’
