Product Description:
New and faster technology, redefined values, and shifting customer demands are changing the way businesses operate in the twenty-first century. Human resources and business leaders are faced with the challenge of redefining their strategies on leadership, talent, and diversity, while evaluating their operational effectiveness. This book presents the compelling contributions of thought leaders-such as David Ulrich, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, and Jeffrey Pfeffer-who offer a road map for what these leaders can expect. Renowned HR executives also provide their expert advice and prescriptions for the future. The nature of human resources will continue to evolve as the new century progresses-with this book, HR professionals can change with it.

His leadership work centers on helping organizations attract, develop and retain top leadership talent. Robert Gandossy (Redding, CT) heads Hewitt's Global Practice Leaders for Talent and has over twenty years' experience in human resources, leadership, and change management.

- Balancing HR? Reality v Fantasy, Emotional v Economic,
My recent attendence at the HRO conference in New York only substantiated my growing belief that in the absence of strong HR leadership, the United States economy will soon feel the harsh reality of a population isolated and devalued by agressive competition, and incapable of finding the required trust to consolidate and unify to grow security of life in the future.
