The authors of the Global Leadership Forecast report break down the 25 topics covered into six categories:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Leaders at the core<\/li>\n
  2. Digital and data<\/li>\n
  3. Growth and potential<\/li>\n
  4. Leader diveristy<\/li>\n
  5. Cultural drivers<\/li>\n
  6. The HR opportunity (room for improvement)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    According to authors, HR departments are not performing well, and business leaders are beginning to take notice. The report\u00a0describes three categories in which HR professionals often fall: reactor, partner or anticipator.<\/em><\/p>\n

    According to<\/a>\u00a0Danielle Westermann King,\u00a0staff writer for Human Resources Executive, a\u00a0reactor<\/em> ensures compliance with policies and procedures and implements basic talent-management systems. A partner<\/em> provides HR solutions, works in tandem with line managers to reach goals, and provides information about talent-issue gaps with the business. The anticipator\u00a0<\/em>embraces analytics and data, uses those tools to predict talent needs and implements insight and solutions to ensure high quality talent.<\/p>\n

    While HR professionals perform a portion of all three of these categories, they need to be working toward becoming anticipators, now more than ever.<\/p>\n

    “Throughout the Global Leadership Forecast 2018, we\u2019ve highlighted the importance of predictive analytics, which are the anticipator\u2019s lifeblood. Analytics are essential to maximizing your investments toward improving leadership quality and supply,” said\u00a0Richard Wellins, senior research associate at DDI.<\/p>\n

    HR seems to be falling behind, despite the increased importance on data, analytics and the anticipator role.\u00a0Compared with leaders in other roles, there was a 57 percent difference in HR leaders who reported feeling \u201cvery effective\u201d to meet the digital demands of their workplace, the report revealed.<\/p>\n

    Though 70 percent of HR professionals reported that their analytics skills and data-driven decision making has increased, it doesn’t seem to be keeping pace with digitization. Many recommendations to combat this issue are provided in the report, and properly educating HR professionals is one that that stands out.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe suspect that HR leaders may be underinvesting in their own learning as they strive to meet the growing learning needs of leaders in other functions,” Wellins and Sayed Sadjady, principal, people advisory services at EY said. “In reality, HR should be first in line for increased resources and in continual learning mode.\u201d<\/p>\n
