Steve Tappin
CEO, Xinfu and confidant, dozen Fortune 500 and high growth CEOs
You may have seen the show Steve Tappin hosts on BBC World, The CEO Guru, where he has met, interviewed and helped some of the world’s most successful CEOs to deliver on their respective growth agendas.
How CEOs maximise the investment they make in their people, and leverage their talent, has been a central theme of these conversations, regardless of country or culture. Central to this challenge is the effectiveness of the HR director and the depth of relationship the HRD has with the rest of the board. How do you, as HR director, play the important role of helping to mobilise people to deliver on what the board, collectively, sees as key to growing/strengthening the business?
Helping you to answer this question is what Steve Tappin brings to HR in the Boardroom
