When HR Gets Torn Down, the Business First CHRO Splits the Cut From the Rebuild

If your company has decided the old HR model is finished, who is about to decide what gets built back?

The person with the incentive to cut HR and the person who knows what would break are almost never the same person. Leave it to a CHRO measured on activity, and nothing gets cut. Leave it to a decisive CEO with the wrong map, and the strategic pieces disappear over a weekend. Either way, the pen lands by default.

In this episode, Jackson and Scott break down how to separate the decision to cut from the expertise to rebuild, before anyone picks up a sledgehammer.

You'll discover:

• Why the fight over tearing HR down is already settled, and the only question left is who holds the pen
• How two failure modes sit on either side of that decision, and which one is a one-way door
• What it costs to weld two jobs into one chair, and the four moves that pull them apart

If the rebuild is coming and nobody has said out loud who owns it, listen now and learn how to settle it on purpose.
