Theories and Concepts in HR Management (4) - HR Leadership Roles & Responsibilities

After reviewing my primary text for my HR graduate class, I wanted to re-state John Seyfarth’s eight traits of effective leaders:  The author of Human Resource Management for Effective Schools identifies assertiveness, interpersonal communication skills, persuasiveness, optimism, stability, calmness under pressure, organization abilities, and problem solving skills as key traits of the HR leader.  The provided leadership chart also breaks down many of the HR leader’s domains of responsibility. Although it is a generic leadership diagram, it outlines the primary responsibilities of school leaders much the same as it does other HR fields.
