Red flags
Apr 29, 2024
It’s not that you don’t see the red flags when you work in HR.
You do.
And you tell the line manager.
But then the line manager doesn’t act.
This points to two problems.
The line managers don’t have the skills – or more likely, the confidence – to influence their team members.
And HR don’t have the skills to influence the line managers.
And when you’re employed to be experts in people, that’s a difficult thing to admit.
But it’s not your fault.
It was only years after I worked in HR and as a publisher of HR resources that I understood something significant about behavioural influence.
It's learnable, not innate.
