Leadership = Top management! • HR function must shape culture by shaping • leadership throughout the organisation: • Teaching • Enabling • Releasing • Sharing of knowledge • Attitudes ETC!

  25. Strategic Types and HR Tasks Different strategic types work better with some HR practices than others, e.g.: Porter / Miles and Snow Cost / defender = efficiency, consistency Differentiation / prospector = quality, effectiveness, knowledge, creative Focus / analyser = flexibility Directional Strategies Concentration = current skills focus Internal growth = new employees, new targets, new training External growth = harmony, cooperation Divestment = minimising loss (retrenchments, morale, severance)
