Is a move from HR director to chief executive a bridge too far?

Press/Media: Research

Description

Professor Paul Sparrow is quoted in a story in HR Magazine about the difficulty HR directors face in becoming CEOs: "HRDs are not in the only position that cannot move up; R&D, IT and marketing directors are in the same position. But HRDs have been made responsible for managing business transformation. They understand the complexities of the business and if they articulate this, their voice has every chance of being heard on the board," says Sparrow.
