A Powerful Team – How CEOs and their HR Leaders are Transforming Organizations
We are excited to announce that Scott Rosen has taken on the challenge of co-authoring another book, the focus of which will be how effective CEO/CHRO partnerships drive organizations to higher levels of performance.
The book is co authored with David Pinette of Challenger Gray and Christmas and John Touey of Salveson Stetson.
It will consist of interviews with CEOs and their CHROs and will get to the heart of what makes an effective partnership between the CEO and CHRO, and what benefits the organization derives from that relationship.
With so much negativity surrounding the value of HR, we believe strongly in elevating the credibility of our function and feel this is a powerful way to do so.
Below is the list of companies and their HR Leaders that will be included in the book.

SOME INITIAL FINDINGS
- CEOs interviewed believe the HR leader should have a role in the organization equal to the COO, CFO, and other leaders on the business side of operations.
- The HR leader’s and team’s understanding of the business has to be equal to or greater than their understanding of HR issues. The CEO needs to see the HR leader as an equal on the leadership team.
- A major role played by HR is in finding out what employees truly think about the company and acting on that information to improve culture. A positive and engaged culture plays a critical role in driving results.
