Review: not strategix - Not for me. Common sense stuff in here and not really strategic. NoI didn't make it past the 2nd chapter Review: Fantastic toolkit for Senior HR professionals - This book is incredible for HR professionals because it focuses on both personal and professional needs. Operating at a Head of HR level as I have , takes resilience and determination and Karen maps out how to do that effectively including looking after your own wellbeing. She shares lots of tools and techniques that every HR professional should know about and use. Her writing style breaks things down into bitesize chunks so the information is easy to absorb. I look forward to reading your work in the future. Bravo!
