In this episode of Management Development Unlocked, Eric sits down with Lotus Buckner, the bestselling author of “The Joy of HR.” Lotus is the founder and CEO of LB Talent Solutions, where she executes fractional work in addition to consulting and executive coaching. Lotus is an HR expert, and you’ll hear her thoughts on why it’s so important to partner with HR rather than viewing them as an adversary you have to deal with.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

1. Why companies need great HR and great leadership in collaboration to create success.
2. The most common misconceptions about HR and why they’re incorrect.
3. Processes that are in place to protect leadership–not just the company.
4. Reaching out to HR early to support team development and employee success.
5. What you may not be aware HR can assist you with, including payroll, benefits, learning and development, and more.
6. How a proactive partnership with HR can help you nip problems in the bud before you have to put out a fire.
7. Lotus Buckner’s new book, “The Joy of HR,” and what you can learn from it.
8. Eric’s perception of HR during his career and some of his experiences.
