• Turnaround is not transformation
9. • People go into HR
because they like
people
• HR departments are not
designed to provide
corporate therapy or as
social or health-and-
happiness retreats.

create the practices that
make employees more
competitive, not more
comfortable.
10. • Anyone can do HR. • HR activities are based
on theory and research.

master both theory and
practice.

side of business and is
therefore not
accountable.

practices on business
results can and must be
measured.
• HR professionals must
learn how to translate
their work into financial
performance.
12. • HR focuses on costs,
which must be
controlled

create value by
increasing the

add value, not reduce
costs.

health-and-happiness
patrol.

to help them become more
committed.

managers commit
employees and administer

evolutionary chain and
explain their work with
less jargon and more
authority.

people.

force vigorous debates.
