Dave Ulrich

"Future leaders will be less concerned with saying what they will deliver and more concerned with delivering what they have said they would."

"HR professionals help turn aspirations into actions by focusing on three things:"

"The responsibility for leaders developing results-based leaders is shared. Current leaders who are senior managers have the ultimate challenge of preparing a next generation of leaders, every one of whom should be more capable than themselves."

"Competencies can be communicated — and therefore can be taught and learned."

"Nowadays, HR professionals play three roles: • Storyteller • Strategy interpreter • Strategic facilitator"

"The best learners are also teachers."

"Dave Ulrich studies how organizations build capabilities of leadership, speed, learning, accountability, and talent through leveraging human resources. He has helped generate award winning data bases that assess alignment between strategies, organization capabilities, HR practices, HR competencies, and customer and investor results."
