Elevating the HR Function

In Chapter $1$ of The Talent Masters, from this week's readings, Conaty and Charan recount a story about $$Sue$$ that illustrates how a strong alignment between HR and senior leadership should work. They follow this example with an outline of $7$ principles that are critical to developing talent and earning HR a $$seat at the table.$$

After reading this story and reflecting on the principles, answer the following questions:

Rank these $7$ principles from $1($easiest$)$ to $7($most difficult$),$ based on how easily a company could implement them. Explain the rationale for your rankings.

If you had to choose just one of these principles that would have the greatest positive impact on your own organization, which would it be and why?

Do you see the principles as interrelated? Why or why not?
