Introduction
Human resource leaders
have the unique title and role in an organization. One important way to learn
about leadership is to learn from conversations with, and observations of,
practicing leaders. This balances academic theory with the practical applications
of experienced human resource leaders.
Learning from others is
a key tool in the development of leaders. While textbooks and publications can
advise you, they cannot replace the experiential information from others. The
focus of this assignment is understanding leadership from the human resource
perspective. In this assignment, you will conduct an informational interview
with a human resource professional and write a paper discussing your findings
from that interview. The assignment focuses on understanding your interviewee’s
perspective on the human resource leadership role and evaluating the
information obtained from this interview as you consider your approach to human
resource leadership.
Scenario

Resources department and your goal is to be promoted to higher levels of
leadership in the human resource profession. In order to understand how you

Leadership Development Challenge
For this leadership
development challenge, you will conduct an informational interview that focuses
on a human resource leader whose primary role is being a strategic partner to
people and organizations from a human resource capacity. This interview will

elements:
·
Learn about a human resource leader’s role and the challenges and opportunities
