Through coaching and workshops HFI provides support for managers as they move up the managerial ladder. We find that many organisations focus on the technical skills which are more easily defined rather than on the people skills required to lead. Here is a well researched book which describes seven levels of transition, from managing a team of individual contributors to leading a global, multi-business enterprise. This is a must for anyone with a serious interest in long term leadership succession planning.
For organisations wishing to implement a leadership pipeline, HFI can provide support and help right up to a complete leadership development programme.

For many years, HFI has been helping companies to align their HR strategy with their corporate strategy. This book provides a superb and practical description of that process. The sequel to Dave Ulrich's best selling HR Champions takes the concept of HR strategy to the next level. In The HR Value Proposition, Dave Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank outline how HR can align its self with the corporate strategy to create a clear and valuable business driver. Whilst this is interesting reading for all HR professionals, it is most useful for senior HR Directors who are engaging a strategic transformation of their HR function across the organisation.

Implementing the reforms outlined in this book will require commitment at board level. HFI can help to enable this by facilitating the initial discussions to define and align the corporate and HR strategies and by support the ongoing change project.

It is quite surprising how many managers, even senior executives, have never really developed clear delegation skills. Without these skills, managers can easily become overwhelmed whilst preventing their own staff from working at their best. Ken Blanchard's classic One-Minute Manager series presents an easily digested solution to this problem. It is required reading for anyone attending an HFI Supervising and Managing People workshop and should be compulsory for all managers.

This book is aimed at managers and coaches wanting to develop highly committed and highly competent staff, which hopefully means all managers and coaches.

It is a short book, with a simple conversational style, and so unlike some management books it actually teaches you practical workable solutions to management and coaching problems without much effort being required. Most points are summarised every ten pages or so, on straightforward and useful flow-charts or grids, which set out how to follow what it is saying in practice.
