In this very special episode to mark the 100th outing for The HR Uprising Podcast, Lucinda talks to one of the most influential and renowned thinkers in the world of Human Resources, university professor, author, speaker, management coach, and management consultant, Dave Ulrich!

In addition, Dave Ulrich has been ranked the #1 Management Educator & Guru by BusinessWeek, selected by Fast Company as one of the 10 most innovative and creative leaders. Also, he is one of 21 people in the Thinker’s Fifty Hall of Fame and was named the most influential thinker in HR of the decade by HR Magazine. Certainly, he is collectively recognised as “The Father of Modern HR”.

 Key Takeaways

  • Indeed, moving forward as a sector, our intentions must be led by experience, emotion and intelligence but they must always be rooted in a desire to help the person.
  • Change your assumptions, your customers are an asset. For instance, show empathy by caring and listening to answers. Also, create a boundary of work around creating value for customers.
  • Furthermore, effective diagnosis into our organisations will allow us the benefit of a more holistic approach to solving its issues and creating the values we wish to instill.
  • Certainly, confidence comes from taking steps into the unknown. Above all, we must be pioneers in our field. Therefore, take risks, find solutions, and the confidence to take action will follow.
