If you intend to integrate a function deeply into your business operations, it is important to understand its elements. Like other functional areas, much of the writing in Human Resources is technical and designed largely for the practitioner. However, if we are to help your organization enhance its fundamental operating capabilities, then we must share a baseline of thinking and approach when we talk about Human Resources. That is successful integration of HR Leadership.

To this end, we have found critical pieces of writing that demonstrate or effectively dissect how aspects of HR Leadership link to business results. Back home at TPO, we have developed some of our own critical thinking, capturing various aspects of HR Leadership experienced at the leading edge of functional integration.
