Hello fellow HR peeps! I’m in the final stages of getting a new director-level job in HR! It’s all exciting, but I know it’s not going to be easy given that it’s my first director-level role. So being new to being a director, I’d love to hear what advice fellow directors could provide for a newbie director.

Congratulations! My advice is to get to know all of your direct reports (history, something personal and goals) depending on the size of your unit. If too large to do so individually, try small group intro meetings. This will take the guesswork out of what motivates them to achieve ultimate performance. IMO, a sign of a good leader is one who knows and cares about their people. As one saying goes, people don’t care how much you know unless they know how much you care. Good luck!
