    About this ebook

    Soft Skills & Leadership – HR Insight for Managers is written as an open letter and offers provocative ideas and solutions for HR practitioners assisting business managers with growth, development and diplomacy. It's a journey through the traditional HR disciplines and meant to inspire and motivate business managers to gain personal value and strength in current roles.

    Mike Boissonneault provides a comprehensive and thought provoking essay on the various HR disciplines and written in more standard business language. It is a bridge to connect and bond HR professionals with their business managers. For managers who can't afford developmental training, they can learn about HR specialization, and create a better respect for their HR partnerships. Also, for aspiring HR staff, this book can whet their appetite and inspire them to see the depth and breadth of what HR is about and can embrace their best practices.

    Written by an HR executive, who worked on both sides of this business relationship in a large corporation, Mike gives a fresh and diplomatic review of the people skills necessary for best HR practices. This book is a virtual tour of HR disciplines, explained with a business manager's purview, and is a valuable knowledge base and tool for non-HR managers.

    Another significant discussion is the discerning between the terms management and leadership. There is a strong sentiment for creating more leadership and recognizing those competencies as important as any of the organizational skills. This book opens the mind to consider that HR can assist business managers in their quest for growth by simply training them in the HR certified specialties. It would help both sides to accept, embrace and endorse each other's business acumen.

      Bridging Managers and HR Partners

      Chapter 1

      Something’s Missing

      Business leaders are faced with many tasks in their daily routines. Owning or running a company, a division, a business unit or even leading a small team of employees has built in expectations. Managers are accountable for most everything that happens on their watch.

      America has an endless number of small companies and major corporations. No matter the size of the operation, people manage people. The life cycle of an employee is as significant a road map as the production supply chain for any product manufactured. It is imperative to have fair and equitable laws governing each stage of that process and evolution. Employment, by its very nature, drives personal and community growth on every level. Without rules and organization, businesses fail and the economy suffers. Something’s missing.

      An obvious path to answer the question of What’s missing? would be to steer new managers towards Human Resources disciplines and training. This book will provoke thought and offer an array of information on creating, sustaining and transforming businesses. This is the start of the bridge building between any business management team and HR doctrines. Organizational development and individual growth are areas of focus and deep discussion. Much of the typical design of companies are influenced by their specific industries and future business plans. We will delve into those areas to open dialogue and point to the currently available resources to back up the various schemes. Expanding the minds of business professionals to think broadly and act compliantly is a driver for the book. Human Resources professionals or programs can assist you.

      Systems and processes change often and are greatly influenced by technology. We will focus on the theoretical practices and offer solutions and endorsements of some of the best business or human capital protocols and suggest applications available to support the various business and workforce management needs.

      The workforce of the future is an important factor in any current business planning. Learning how to stay relevant and garnering the trust of the workforce is a paramount goal for Workforce Management. Another key derivative of the book can be incorporating a peripheral approach to understanding the expectations of the workforce, where a business fits into the supply chain of any given company or industry and ultimately how to leverage immediate and on-demand resources and/or trade
