Description:
“What is the difference between a manager and a leader?” This is a false question, according to our January speaker, George Raine. “A manager who is not a good leader is called a bad manager,” he says. George will share his model for management accountability in an effective organization. It is a model that has profound impact on the role of HR. He sees HR leaders as the architects of leadership accountability in any organization, and managerial leadership as part of every organization’s normal performance expectations. HR’s role is to ensure that the organization’s culture demands leadership practices, rewards their use, and gives managers the tools and support to be fairly held accountable for leadership. It’s a refreshing message, but it demands a higher HR skill set and threatens to end forever the image of HR as “the nice people we let you talk to so your boss doesn’t have to deal with people stuff.”
