Recent Poll Results: What HR Practitioners need from their HR Leaders

Posted: 03.08.09

The Chapman Consulting Group's July study, in which 93 HR practitioners across Asia Pacific Japan nominated the most important quality they look for in a local or international HR leader, showed up some interesting results.

The most important quality sought in a leader, as chosen by 43% of respondents, was that leader's ability to profile HR in a way that earns the support of the business. This was narrowly ahead of the second most popular quality sought by 32% of respondents, being the leader's ability to act - to cut out the noise and focus on results. 15% of respondents felt that the HR Leader's ability to mentor and coach the regional HR team was the most important, with only 7% of respondents nominated the HR Leader's ability to structure and develop a well functioning HR team beneath them as the most important quality.
