do HR-related managers become CEOs?
Hi everyone, hehe I'm just curious here... part of my main interest includes studying leadership and I'm always interested in CEO profiles. However I seem to find this trend - there arent any CEOs who are from the HR department - most CEOs I read usually come from either a technical background OR if they're from the commecial side, they usually were either from Finance, Accounting or Marketing. I think the reason behind this is maybe perhaps HR is not really looked upon as a crucial field in the business and therefore the board of directors usually look at other departments to elect aCEO. This is just my reasoning, what do you guys think?

HR as business leaders, SHRM has been focusing on HR's strategic role and its impact on business, there are CEO's who's at one time adorned the HR Cap, its just that we don't know - I think if HR have the right ingredients( strong business acumen ) to becoming a CEO, he/she will be in the running.

Re: do HR-related managers become CEOs?
This is an unique generalisation and in a way a myth


that HR background people do not become CEOs!!!


when we take a look at the options at which even



Learners at B-schools opting for the specialisations

not necessarily it is found that ,have an

inclination at many out of all the times to makea confident decision on

their career from the initial stages right from the beginning of their

careers paths /progress decide in favour of HR

If for otherwise we need to not have a know

of numbers which people choose is as a basis to

conclude that it is not a most opted or favoured


Nextly,If it is their choice for they could not become CEOs is

rather very much notional rather than rational....

It is that beauty of HR that they need to co-ordinate /control etc all the

guys /gals apart from HR all other areas of the organisational

constitutents in MKTG,FIN,SYSTEMS AND OPERATIONS et al.

For it becomes all the more important to know even more about the

other domains in which expertise and exposure is essentially needed for

being sucessful


For this requires a lot of patience/percevernce/perception and

in the fast world people opting for short-cuts and

not ethically sound practices where we can term the name of the context

in "MAYA" the world is full or all of its cloud

as cited in BHAGAVATH GITA

If the society undertstands the truth and

believe it then there is no shortcut for success

then only people from HR background

only then can become CEO this is liekly in the future

and just might be a matter of time

may be one could consider this is my view for those who do not agree

and i leave it for each one and self to come to a conclusion on their

choices

and add on to their views to
