Reposting this because it’s a reminder. HR is invaluable, but they’re not leadership’s clean-up crew. If difficult conversations keep landing in HR’s inbox, maybe leadership is avoiding its own accountability.
Unpopular opinion: Sending everything to HR is a leadership red flag. 🟥 Not because HR isn't valuable they absolutely are. But because it often signals avoidance. "HR should handle that difficult employee." Translation: I don't want to have a hard conversation. HR partners with leadership. They don't parent it. If you're constantly escalating to HR, ask yourself: What am I avoiding? #Leadership #HumanResources #ManagementTips #LeadershipDevelopment
