For some HR professionals, the need for strong leadership is the solution to the problems facing human resources today. Why? Leadership sets the vision for the future, sets the direction, helps people understand what they’re being asked to do, explains how those actions fits into the bigger vision and drives the bottom line.
Not only does leadership set the vision, they have to be transparent about what it’s going to take to achieve the goals laid out. And according to Akebono Brake Corp. vice president of U.S. HR and Assistant GM of Global HR Eric Torigian, it is then that employees do miracles for the organization. Without it, the company will struggle.
