]]> Comment on Don’t tarnish us all with the same brush by mukaumedia http://ofqt.wordpress.com/2009/05/24/dont-tarnished-us-all-with-the-same-brush/#comment-2 mukaumedia Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:01:31 +0000 http://ofqt.wordpress.com/?p=94#comment-2 Interesting post - and article. First of all, in 'defense' of HR, it's probably equally true to say that a good percentage of people in other jobs are also relatively ineffective and a barrier to their organisation's success. On the other hand, HR (in my experience) is in a uniquely difficult position in most organisations in that it is charged with dealing with the tough stuff (how people feel and behave) in an environment without a vocabulary capable of dealing with it. If there is one core competency I think is necessary for HR (indeed for leadership and management) it is emotional literacy and awareness. However, I don't see how the HR profession can develop those skills (let alone an organisational vocabularly to deal with them) in a culture that conceives of 'leadership' as something different from 'HR'.
