Buy Ed’s New Book “Strategic HR”
This book is the real deal. It’s filled with practical ideas on how you can get results from your team. Get your pen out because you are going to want to take notes and discuss with your leadership team.
I have been waiting for a book like this. Ed does a great job of breaking down the critical components of aligning C Suite and HR strategies together. This is a book not only for HR professionals, but for executives to also understand their Human Resources function. Lots of great leadership principles throughout the book. I cannot wait to put into action the strategies outlined in the book.
Ed Krow finally gives HR the voice it needs to be heard in the C-Suite and respected by the workforce. But be forewarned: He pulls no punches while offering an intelligent, honest, and detailed strategy to transform HR from “compliance cops and payroll clerks” to executive business partners. It’s a must-read for both new and experienced HR professionals, as well as the business executives who manage them.
