About this ebook
Soft Skills & Leadership – HR Insight for Managers is written as an open letter and offers provocative ideas and solutions for HR practitioners assisting business managers with growth, development and diplomacy. It's a journey through the traditional HR disciplines and meant to inspire and motivate business managers to gain personal value and strength in current roles.
Mike Boissonneault provides a comprehensive and thought provoking essay on the various HR disciplines and written in more standard business language. It is a bridge to connect and bond HR professionals with their business managers. For managers who can't afford developmental training, they can learn about HR specialization, and create a better respect for their HR partnerships. Also, for aspiring HR staff, this book can whet their appetite and inspire them to see the depth and breadth of what HR is about and can embrace their best practices.
Written by an HR executive, who worked on both sides of this business relationship in a large corporation, Mike gives a fresh and diplomatic review of the people skills necessary for best HR practices. This book is a virtual tour of HR disciplines, explained with a business manager's purview, and is a valuable knowledge base and tool for non-HR managers.
Another significant discussion is the discerning between the terms management and leadership. There is a strong sentiment for creating more leadership and recognizing those competencies as important as any of the organizational skills. This book opens the mind to consider that HR can assist business managers in their quest for growth by simply training them in the HR certified specialties. It would help both sides to accept, embrace and endorse each other's business acumen.
