HR Americas Conference 2017: Memorable Quotes and Presentations
Adding value to your company through human resources was a constant theme, as WorldCity held its 5th annual HR Americas Conference last week, with attendees coming from both South Florida and Latin America.
Here were some of the memorable quotes from keynote speaker Dave Ulrich, “the father of modern human resources” and partner at the RBL Group, as well as quotes and presentations from other speakers:
Dave Ulrich, “The Father of Modern Human Resources” & Partner at RBL Group
“Why people work has not changed for centuries. How people work has.”
“Who’s (human resources’) customer? The business, not employees.”
“Culture wins the game. Talent gets you in the game.”
“Top performers should publicly behave like they’re committed to the company.”
“Part of leadership is having the difficult conversations.”
“We want leaders with very, very high self-awareness,” and an ability to navigate parodox.
Peter Vanham, Global Leadership Fellow at the World Economic Forum & Author of Before I was CEO
“The best way not to become CEO is to think about how to become CEO.”
CQ (cultural quotient), not IQ, is “crucial to be a CEO of a multinational company”.
“Are you going to be happy after you’re CEO?”
