Dave Ulrich on leadership sustainability

Illustration

Human Resource Champions, The HR Value Proposition, HR from the Outside In and Global HR Competencies, are bestsellers written by one of the most influential personalities in the field of human resource management, Dave Ulrich. He is the creator of the HR business partnership concept, a consultant and a professor at the University of Michigan. In March 2013, Ulrich coauthored a new book devoted to leadership. Written in collaboration with his colleague and expert on leadership Norm Smallwood, the book is entitled Leadership Sustainability: Seven Disciplines to Achieve the Changes Great Leaders Know They Must Make.

"The journey to great leadership doesn't end with learning and implementing effective new skills. Great leadership is about consistency, and the drive for consistency is a never-ending process," the authors are quoted on Amazon.com. The seven described principles of leadership sustainability include:

  1. Simplicity - focusing on several key elements of behavior with the greatest impact

  2. Time - managing time in order to achieve one's interests

  3. Responsibility - keeping promises

  4. Resources - support of leadership through the means of coaching and HR systems

  5. Tracking - creating metrics to measure improvements in leadership

  6. Melioration - learning from mistakes and demonstrating resistance

  7. Emotions - maintaining motivation based on personal values

Dave Ulrich has written more than twenty books and more than two hundred articles focused on HR and management. You can view an excerpt and purchase the book Leadership Sustainability: Seven Disciplines to Achieve the Changes Great Leaders Know They Must Make in the Amazon.com online store here.
