Jay's comment seems to indicate he feels the issue here is really one of perception of incompetence of HR vs. reality. I'm not so sure. In many companies HR is still seen as lacking credibility and business acumen. Also, seen as involved in adminstrative detail vs. helping top managment achieve its strategic agenda.

Competence of the Human Resource Profession

I just read about the results of an interesting new study, “State of the Global Talent Nation”, conducted by Softscape. 94% of the 250 human resource professionals surveyed say they “don’t feel their personnel are adequately prepared to meet future company goals”. And that is 30 percent worse than three years ago. What’s even more disturbing? More than half of them say the big reason this is so is they are not confident that their business effectively manages human resource processes.

Jay, thanks for your comments and insights. That'a a great phrase, "Imanginative Gridlock", and it does seem that these kinds of question might free us from that kind of gridlock. I completely agree that this a leadership issue. And leadership at all levels; as you point out it's personalin in terms of how we challeng ourselves, as well as the way we think of leadership more traditionally in an organizational setting whether it be our religious, political, educational, social or corporate instititons.

Achieving Full Potential

I’ve frequently wondered what it would take to get organizations and the talented people in those organizations to achieve their full potential. As a consultant my observation would be that most people and organizations are performing well below that “full potential” level. Is getting close to full potential possible?
