"We need a revolution, and it's here. It's time to stop talking about how HR must be a strategic partner and for HR to start being a strategic partner."

Business leaders have often viewed HR as a strictly administrative function when it should be viewed as a critical strategic function. Intentional HR: A Revolution in Strategic Thinking explores the intersection of strategic thinking, business leadership, and the human resources function. In this book, you'll read stories such as:

• How HR leaders improved their strategic thinking abilities and earned their "seat at the table."
• How one entrepreneur combined HR strategy and corporate social responsibility initiatives to attract and retain top talent and benefit his community.
• Why employee centricity is becoming more critical to business success and why it will continue to be as the war for talent intensifies.

Intentional HR is for those who want to become better strategic thinkers, HR professionals who want to be valued as strategic business partners, and anyone who wants to look at HR and strategic thinking in a new way.
