7 Principles of the Revolution

A couple of weeks ago, I asked you what it means to be an HR Renegade. There was a lot of great discussion around the movement to revolutionize human resources.

Your insights are helping to shape the revolution. Here are the principles of the movement:

  1. Don’t just motivate. Inspire.
  2. Employees are people (not resources).
  3. Embrace innovation and learning.
  4. Work is something you do (not somewhere you go).
  5. Be open. Be honest. Be transparent.
  6. Use your employees as guinea pigs (and other data methods).
  7. Be a rockstar!

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be posting about each of these principles in a bit more detail. What do you think?
