Influential HR
ByPublisher Description
HR has spent years trying to get leaders to listen — it’s time to change how we speak, think and show up.
This is the essential guide for HR professionals who are tired of being ignored, sidelined or frustrated by leaders who don’t ‘get it’. Drawing on years of experience advising senior teams and HR practitioners across the world, Lucy Adams exposes the common traps that stop HR from being heard and shows exactly how to change the conversation. Through real stories, practical tools, and behavioural insight, she shows how to earn credibility, challenge with confidence and build adult-to-adult relationships that make real change possible.
Whether you’re an HR business partner, people director or talent lead, Influential HR will help you shift from delivering processes to shaping strategy, from chasing buy-in to becoming a trusted partner whose ideas leaders act on. It’s time to stop waiting to be invited to the table and start being impossible to ignore.
