Review

"As HR pros, we’re great at helping others define their career path. But who helps us? If you’re looking for one book that will help you develop your team (or yourself), Defining HR Success is that book. The specific examples listed to develop a competency were spot on. I could see myself including these in goal setting or professional development plans. And the book even outlines how to create your career development plan. It’s a must-have for every HR professional." —Sharlyn Lauby, SHRM-SCP, ITM Group, Inc.

"In a constantly evolving environment, it's critical that HR professionals master the competencies which will make them successful. The Society of Human Resources Management, as the leading voice for the profession, has developed a new model that not only provides the construct for those human capital competencies, but also provides the a pathway to develop the leadership competencies which define success in todays workplace. I encourage every HR professional who is interested in improving their performance today and succeeding in the future, to read this book." —Brian Silva, Chief Human Resources Officer and Senior Vice President, Administration, Fresenius Medical Care
