COMMENTARY: The HR Capitalist

Commentary: So you’re in HR, a partner to whomever you serve. Guess what? That means you’re supposed to tell people when they’re messing up. That’s easy when the target of the constructive feedback is an employee. It gets trickier when we have to tell our bosses that there’s something rotten in Denmark related to, well, them.
