Michael,
For me I "transitioned" from human resources into management consulting. As a successful management consultant I was asked by a client to step in and manage his company as the opertational executive.
I went back into HR nominally at the executive level and was once again by another organization to assume full operational responsibility for a financial services organization with just under a billion dollars in assets.
The skills these executives cited when asking me to step up:
- creating a clear vision
- selecting and retaining exceptional talent
- aligning organizational and individual goals
- training and developing an exceptional "leadership cadre"
- creating and sustaining what we refer to as an "engaged" employment environment and brand.
I don't consider myself exceptional- I just never saw my role as compliance or "keeping the lid on". It was about aligning people and the organization.
So I guess my answer is - " Where do you want to take it?"
