Recommend ways to develop people to perform current roles and prepare them for future roles, including informal 1:1 dialogues and managing performance, development, and succession cycles. Provide feedback, coaching, and formal development recommendations to leaders themselves.

• Execute HR and business strategy — Understand both HR’s People and Culture strategy and the business strategies your leaders are designing. Determine people and organization implications, anticipate impacts, and be an active force in imagining how strategies apply locally. Drive the execution of initiatives within the teams you support.
