Know who your friends are. Also know who your enemies are.
I feel like you almost can’t have friends…..
I agree with this completely. Once I understood how the business makes money, everything else started to click. It changes how you see decisions, not just policies.
Exactly!
Don’t go into this because you “like people”. That is a career limiting move. Go into it with the understanding that your role is to provide value to the organization. Not the employees or the managers. It may mean having tough conversations with employees (and/or managers). Bad managers put the organization at risk. And being friends with the employees means at some point you may have to do things that won’t be considered friendly - case they are the right thing to do
Absolutely! 👏
Keep the H in HR!
Haha love this.
Have patience
Oh yes, this is a biggie.

Yes, get to know the business -- the product/service, the SWOTs, the competition, the status in the market (leader? second place? bottom?), etc. I believe everyone who works to understand the business of their employer is almost always going to be a better employee.
Agree!!
