Strategies for Moving from HR Leader to Business Leader

I have created the HR Business Leader Mentoring and Workshop program with the goal to shift, cultivate the business mind- and skillset of HR Professionals, inspire and support them to rise as a true business leader who can add value to any part of their company.

Have you ever found it challenging…

to get access to the top management and gain credibility at the top level?
to demonstrate how HR impacts the business outcomes?

Have you ever experienced that…

you were not invited to a business meeting where important people related decision was made?
you were not informed by the top management about organization relevant changes and you were put in front of ready facts too late?
your initiatives were not supported by top management?

According to management teams, most of the HR leaders haven’t proven yet their worth for the business outside the knowledge of their own products and services. HR leaders meets with increased pressure to show the return on investment for human capital initiatives, activities and contribute to the bottom line of the business.

I believe HR leaders are aware it needs to change and have a clear mandate for change from the top management, but they’re struggling with the execution.

That’s why they often face to negative judgment, rejection, provocative – painful, but often true – criticism. If they do not pursue any changes now, their role will become quickly obsolete and they will put in risk the future existence of HR function in their organization.

So how would you rate your own skills and preparedness for becoming HR business leader? What are your skills gaps? How are you planning to address these gaps? How you will rise to your new challenges? What will be the business impact of not addressing your skills gaps?

If you want to evolve from HR functional leader to HR business leader and closer align HR initiatives and activities with business goals resulting in measurable, positive business impact, then join to the HR Business Leader program!

You will understand how you can transform from HR leader to business leader, how to think, act and take responsibility like a business leader and how to earn functional and individual credibility in the top management.

I’m Gyöngyvér Martin, the creator and founder of the HR Business Leader program.

As an executive leader, supervisory board member and consultant – with a professional qualification in psychology and economics – for over 20 years, I have been supporting international and local businesses in the Central and Southeastern Europe region to transform and grow. My aim is to inspire and engage business leaders and HR professionals in a meaningful way so that they can build and nurture a prosperous and thriving organization and can transform work into a compelling and fulfilling experience.

As a mentor I support HR professionals to become business leaders, inspire and develop the future HR generation. This strong commitment encouraged me to establish the HR Business Leader program.
I’m very proud of the successes of my mentees. One of the most touching feedbacks I have received was: “She helped me to gain courage and self-confidence on a professional and enjoyable way. The most important lesson I learnt is to be business-centric and how to achieve sustainable credibility and influence in the leadership team.”
