Turbulence: Threat or Opportunity

When it rains manna from heaven, some people put up an umbrella. Others reach for a big spoon. ((Drucker, Peter F. “The Daily Drucker.” HarperCollins, 2004. Page 76))

Traditionally HR is seen as running for the umbrella. No matter what happens, we’ll keep doing what we do, the way we’ve always done it. This is no longer true in many leading organizations.

A truly modern HR department is constantly evaluating the workforce and applying it’s strategies. Every change in the business should be seen as an opportunity for HR to act. Whether it’s a new product, organization, or a shift in strategy, the workforce is not only impacted – the workforce impacts.

When change comes your way, don’t run. Participate in change and participate in strategy. Get yourself a seat at the proverbial table.
