Year 2008
Class: Professor, what are we going to do in this class? How does the syllabus look like?
Professor: You will learn not to go to sleep perfectly comfortable if there is one child out there in the world who can not reach his/her potential.
Although I believe that one should go to bed perfectly relaxed each and every time, I also think "reaching one's potential" is a magical word.
When we aim for the potential, that means we aim for the best we can get out of a person.
Same rule works for companies and an organization's potential is set by its people.
Could it be a bright idea to deeply know about the things that set your company's potential?
Could it be a good idea to measure people rather than having some random data points?
HR can not be and shall not be an important unit of an organization unless it clearly shows its contribution to the company.
Just a warm-up for "why HR should measure?"
