Most HR leaders are preparing for the future of work. I'm here to tell you most of them are preparing wrong.
The CHRO is the most consequential and most underutilized seat in the modern organization. That gap is not a perception problem. It is a capability problem. And it is solvable.
I'm Trent Cotton. Twenty years building and leading HR organizations taught me that the CHROs who win are not the ones who ask for a seat at the table. They are the ones who show up speaking the language of enterprise value and never have to ask.
That is what I write about, speak about, and dig into every week on The Human Capitalist podcast: the mindsets, models, and moves that separate the CHRO of 2030 from an artifact of a model the organization outgrew.
