Human Resources Development: An Evolution
1974-1984
Human Resources Development
A philosophy based approach: Competent and Committed People build
organizations. Culture makes organizations last long time. Openness, collaboration,
trust, authenticity, proaction, autonomy, confrontation and experimentation are
values that promote getting the best out of people and build organizations. HRD
is continuous competence building, commitment building and culture building. Task
clarity, goal setting, performance review, performance analysis, feedback, Training,
career planning, potential assessment development coaching and mentoring are tools
to build competencies. Recognition, rewards, work facilities, hygiene’s, developmental
supervision are tools for commitment building. Articulating values, vision, systems
development, top management setting example, periodic diagnosis and Self renewal
exercises, etc. are means to build culture. HRD is the responsibility of the HR
function and top management commitment is essential for good HRD.
1984-2004
Hrd = Human Resource Development
Hrd=Human Resource Department
Human Resource Management
Training departments renamed as HRD. Personnel function is
retitled as HR Management. HRD is retitled to mean HR department. Human resources
need to be managed, they are to be recruited, incentivized, given targets, motivated.
Recruitment can be outsourced, training should to be outsourced as there is so
much to train and learn. Soft-skills can be developed through online programs
with least expenses.
2004-2017
HRD = Human Resources Department
People are resources. They could be outsourced as attrition
is high and retention is low. They can be bought with money. They can be procured
from other companies. Recruitments agencies will do this for you. Compensation surveys
go a long way in attracting and retaining talent. Employee engagement, great
place to work etc. surveys will help you build employee brand and retain
people. Hr departments need to be cost effective and cost sensitive. Their main
job is to attract and retain people who are resource and can be called as
talent. Nurture talent and create bench
strength. Leadership development and succession planning will sail you through
difficult times and help you face competition.
Renewal and rejuvenation of HRD
Human Resources Development
Human is not merely a resource
Human is creating possibilities
HRD is recognizing and nurturing talent. Talent is
unlimited. Organizations are platforms to discover, apply and nurture talent. Every
person is one’s own HRD manager. Every individual has the responsibility to discover,
utilize, nurture and multiply talent. HR is too important to be delegated to a department
or function. HR departments can facilitate the organizations to be human. No corporation,
country or community can grow without being human.
Be Human. Humans are different. They have a soul and spirit. we are all
talented possibilities and can make many things happen. Let us treat each other
with respect. Respect failures as they are as much human as successes.

Professionalization of Professional Bodies
Professional Bodies and Office
Seekers
T V Rao
Professional
bodies like the AIMA, AMA, ISTD, NHRDN, NIPM, ISABS, ISISD etc. have
contributed a lot to the development of the respective professions and
professionals. Indian Professional bodies, I am familiar with, have a great
opportunity to contribute and have a long way to go compared to their counterparts in the
west. For example, the American Society for Training and Development, SHRM, American
Psychological Association, The American Sociological Association, The Academy
of HRD, USA etc. have done enormous service to their professions. They encourage
research, hold conferences, publish journals, conduct certification programs. In
all this work, they involve most of the time the top-grade universities and
scholars besides practitioners and executives. One thing remarkable about these
bodies in other countries is the involvement of academics and scholars. In
India whenever the academics and scholars were involved a good degree of research
took place and over a period there seems to be a tremendous decline of the involvement
of academics and scholars. Concerted effort may have to be made to engage the
scholars to upgrade the quality of contributions of these professional bodies.
Research and publications is the backbone of any profession. In the absence of
them there is a risk of them turning out to be like clubs to meet the affiliation
needs of those involved. Professional bodies should develop a plan of action and
have self-renewal mechanism instituted to rejuvenate them and lift their
quality and impact.
You Don't need to hold office to contribute to a Profession or a professional body
I have seen
many enthusiasts’ wanting to be office bearers of professional bodies. I am a
life member of NHRDN, ISTD, ISABS, ISET and AMA. I am not a member of NIPM nor
AIMA. I conduct a HR Leadership event every year for AMA though I had never
been an office bearer or on its Board. CK Prahalad used to come every year when
he was alive, and gave a honorary lecture at AMA for the city of Ahmedabad. I always
welcomed any invitation from and never refused to address any chapter of NIPM
or NIPM itself whenever they requested me. NIPM even sponsored me for some
global award even though I am not a member. ISTD also invited me several times
for keynote talks etc. even though I was never an office bearer. On the contrary, NHRDN for which I am Founder
and first president never invited me for a keynote talk or as a key speaker in
the last 20 years. They do invite me to attend their conferences or to say a
few words, occasionally depending on the Chapter’s preference. This honor was
given to me by NIPM and ISTD.
In fact, I am not even on the Board of NHRDN for
the last several years. I did not want to participate in
the selection process of its office bearers except once in the last 15 years. Almost
all decisions in the last 20 years have been taken without my involvement. About 18 years ago, when
it was not picking up and activities were at the lowest, I volunteered to constitute
a Renewal Committee and rejuvenated with the help of a large number of others including
Aquila Busrai, Arvind Agarwal, P V R Murthy, Rupa Padki, Uday Pareek in 1999-2000.
Once Arvind Agarwal was appointed the President in 2000, I withdrew and was
like any other member. My contention was,
learning from Ravi Matthai, my time was over and it is for others to lead. However, this
does not stop me from contributing to NHRDN as its member and founder President without imposing my views..
Once in recent years, I requested
for a small fund to recruit summer trainees to consolidate all the publications
of NHRDN and put them together. Though the President agreed the Director General
declined. I felt upset, but went ahead and spent my own money, hired the trainees and completed
the task. The thousand and odd articles are now available on NHRDN portal. In
recent times I saw members of some professional bodies taking up issues for
positions on some of these professional bodies. I have also seen some members
contesting elections and doing a lot of canvassing and after they get elected
rarely turn up to events. Professionalism and sense of responsibility is
missing among some of them. I have also
seen a few members who have taken it as a mission only to find faults in the governance
system of these bodies. Good Governance is important. Transparency is very
important. It is not enough to read out a code of conduct but it is more important
to practice it and be available for examination of this practice.
Performance or Contribution Appraisal of Office bearers should be compulsory
Some members
go out of way to canvass for getting elected for positions and once they are
elected they don’t even attend meetings. I have come across one case when a
President of a Chapter would not do anything and he would not also resign after
having been elected as President. When an informal meeting as called and someone
from the local university volunteered to take up the role, the president in
office threatened the professor that he will be beaten up if he does not withdraw.
The chapter never recovered from this and the city lost a great opportunity. I find
it difficult to understand why some professionals go out of way to make issues
and keep controversies alive. They should realize that they are harming
themselves and the profession they represent without their knowing it. I also believe
that professional bodies should not become mere legal entities in the name of
good governance. What is needed is flexibility, creativity, sense of purpose
and commitment to a cause. It goes without saying that these bodies should conduct their activities transparently, ensure all statutory compliance particularly in financial and accounting matters.
If someone is not working they should be prompt enough to remove them and let the body function. Unfortunately, there is so much of local apathy to professional bodies in some places. In other places, there is intense competition to fight elections and take positions. Both have their downsides.

To avoid
such things professional bodies should also have strict performance evaluations
of all their office bearers every six months and even undertake a 360 feedback once
a while. Performance evaluation by members (related members) is a must in professional
bodies and the results should be transparently published.
In my view self-regulation is the key to success of Professional bodies. When office bearers take up positions they should publicly commit their time and other resources for building the profession and contributing to the body. Unless they do this they would be doing enormous invisible damage to the profession. It is not right and not ethical.

The Power of Incompetence and Powerlessness of the Competent
The Power of Incompetence and
Powerlessness of the Competent
T. V. Rao
I always wondered if most Chairpersons, CEOs, MDs,
Presidents, CXOs, CHROs really and genuinely interested in recruiting and using
competent people as peers (colleagues at same level) or juniors at immediate next
levels. Often good leaders are advised to be great leaders by getting team members
more competent than them and when they choose employees more competent than
them, the organizations really prosper. I have begun to feel that this remains
mostly in theory and rare to find people like Dr. Vikram Sarabhai or Ravi Matthai
or Abdul Kalam who are highly secure (emotionally) Institution Builders and always
respected competence, recruited competent people and left them free to build institutions.
As late Dr. Kamla Choudhry postulated Dr. Sarabhai and Matthai spotted competent
people and built Institutions or centers around them.
Today it is perhaps rare to find such people and phenomena. It
seems that no leader (CEO/CHRO/CXO or equivalent) would want to have more
competent people around them as almost all of them be afraid of losing credit and
fear of getting drowned in the glory of the competent colleagues or juniors. Only
family family-owned business heads who made already a great success and
achieved peak of emotional security seem to show this capability. Almost all leaders
now a days want to maintain their supremacy and believe the only way to do that
is by having normally less competent people around them.
I must clarify what I mean by competence- it is not necessarily
domain competence but it could also mean attitudinal, emotional or style or some
form of inadequacy that makes an individual more acceptable to their seniors but
less impactful on juniors or others. Competency
is defined as knowledge, attitudes, skills, self-concept, emotional intelligence,
values, traits etc. In academic world, I know the heads of many Institutions
including those of some premier Institutions who ensure that positions a of
importance is held by people who are less competent or at least have one
weakness or the other which gives them a good handle of control over these
leaders. For example, one Director always chose a “yes person” as his Dean or
Head of the Department wherever he had choice. Some others recruit competent
people and make them incompetent either by over boosting of their ego to a
level of dysfunctionality, or pumping too much of their vision and styles and
leave little choice for the person to use his/her other competencies. A
Chairman went to search all over the world for a good CEO of International
repute and pumped into is head a lot of ego that made the CEO partially incompetent
by becoming rigid and exercising a high ego. He in turn chose an “Yes Person” as
his next level and delegated whatever suited him. Recently when a reputed Industrialist became the
Chairman of an academic Institute and needed to choose a committee to assist
him to rejuvenate the Institute, he chose a few members from his Board who either
belonged to his fraternity or popular names and completely ignored members with
domain expertise who could give him good inputs. It may not have even occurred to
him that there are competent people. Normally the choice of the team member is
based on one with who o feel comfortable rather than one who can contribute.
That is where competence becomes powerless and incompetence becomes powerful. Remember
the article that appeared in Harvard Business review on Competent jerks and
Lovable fools (HBR, June 2005) The authors proposed that normally when people must
choose people to help them at work, they use likeability over competence as a criterion.
Many CHROs make sure that they don’t have highly competent HR Managers. or tend
to choose who can surpass them as it will lead to ego clash or sharing of
credit. This also explains the reason why there is no succession planning in
most organizations including the PSUs and PSBs despite the need for the same
being felt for the last over two decades. This is simply because of the “fear
of competent overshadowing the incompetent”. So, Incompetence wins and the
competence is shelved and sometimes retires unnoticed.
I would like now to turn the argument round to say that that
it is not to your advantage if you are highly competent person. You should have
some incompetence with you to be chosen to work with. One of the incompetencies
is lack of time. There are some leaders who volunteer or get appointed as members
of the Board, or Advisory Board, or Task Force, Committees etc. Once in it, they rarely attend meetings as
they are very popular and busy people. These busy and popular people re
normally chosen as they rarely attend meetings and happily lend their name for
the final report. This is another form of incompetence preferred by leaders. The
Chairman of these committees want to feel that they have a “High Powered “Committee
(who never attended any meetings! For example, if you form a search Committee
to find the next president of a professional body or the Director of an institution
what are your criteria? First criteria is the person who should have good track
record and credibility. Second criteria are the person should have domain familiarity
and some domain knowledge or some experience in search for competent people. A
rarely asked question is on the interest of the candidate and time he/she can spare.
I have seen many committees where the report is almost written by the Chairman or
Secretary and few of his cronies and the Committee is used to give an online
approval. What do you consider such type of members who give their “yes” response
and feel happy to be called members of the Committee? I call them also incompetent
people as their competence is not available to be put to use.
When five of us worked for the HR Committee of the Ministry
of Finance called as Khandelwal Committee, there were five of us members: A IT
Professor from IIT and a member of Bank Board, Another Private sector bank ED,
A Successful Chairman of Bank of Baroda, Chairman of another bank and Chairman
of the IBA, and a HR Expert. I understand that we were carefully chose. We
worked for six months visited all Nationalized banks and held detailed discussions.
At one time, we divided ourselves to look at our special areas of domain
competence (for example a IT specialist looked at IT issues, strategy specialist
looked strategies and so on). Of course, we also had ex-officio members who may
not have attend all meetings but kept them I the loop all the time by continuously
circulating minutes. This one committee report
that was accepted almost in toto for implementation.
Most of the time I have begun to feel that to be competent and
aggressive is a disadvantage and you may be discredited as a difficult person
to deal with or sometimes a person who only makes notice and may not have much
to contribute. The at means your competence has made you powerless and you
should have been incompetent in a way that the other members feel more secure
to have you as a member. However, if you are too timid and shy and are not
noticeable even if you are competent in many ways you may be kept out. If you are
competent and shy you are incompetent. If you are competent and aggressive,
again you are incompetent. Your competence makes you powerless. Your competence
should be only to the level that makes others feel secure. The challenge is to be incompetently competent
or competently incompetent? A competent jerk who is lovable? Or a Lovable fool
who is competent?

Ugly HR: You are your own Resource: Why Curse or Depend on HR?
You are your own Resource: Why Depend
on HR?
T.
V. Rao
In recent
times, while travelling, I found the number of conversations I hear from strangers
are surprisingly filled with references to HR. The other day when I was
travelling from Hyderabad to Ahmedabad, the girl next to me was on her cell
phone for almost 20 mts until the doors closed. I could hear the word “HR” several
times loudly. The other words in conversation slows down but whenever she
uttered HR it was loud. In another group of youngsters, the other day at Pune
airport were repeatedly talking about HR and having fun at them for doing some
gafla in recruitment, posting and incentives. It looks today most people are concerned
about HR and depend on them for recruitment, placement, offer letters,
injustice done in fixing salary, change of jobs, pink slips, blue slips, no
slips, transfers, vacation, change of boss, KRAs, incentives, accommodation,
postings and so many things.
In all this,
HR seems to have to faces: The Ugly face
and the Happy face. Most of the time
stranger conversations deal with the ugly face, and they seem to be on the
increase. I get touched and sometimes pained that the term HR is applied for anything
that obstructs you in fulfilling you desires. Originally when we decided to
create a department of Human Resources Development it was meant to separate the
ugly face of Personnel and create a new face which is for creating happiness at
work through competence, commitment and culture building. I am not myself a HR
person. If any I am student of mathematics, science, education and psychology
by my degrees and created the first HRD department to make the place of work developmental
and enjoyable. Over the years many departments have re-named themselves starting
from Personnel to Training and Employee relations. The intentions were good but
never the same as what we originally conceptualized. As a result, HRD has become
a dirty department at times and strategic department at other times but rarely
a happiness department. 43 year after the first HRD department was o conceptualized
in India, and bodies like the National HRD Network have started with the primary
purpose of promoting this philosophy and isntruments, there seems to be failure
all over in achieving this goal. This is not to say everything done in the name
of HR is bad. HR work has grown in complexity, contributed a lot to growth of
firms, lifted itself to a strategic and Board level function. There are many HR
people who have started in a big way using HR to ensure great places to work,
enhance employee engagement, promote organization development, clarify and create
a vison and values, promote learning and development at work place, create a learning
organization etc. However, these don’t seem to dominate the common conversations
among employees. The ugly face of HR seems to dominate the minds of most
employees.
What is the
way out? The way HR functions today in most organizations, I don’t expect much
to change. The ugly face of HR is likely to be talked a lot more than the happy
face of HR. In our country, we hardly remember those who do good to us but remember
intensely and emotionally all those that annoy us or cause unhappiness. Most of
what HR does is bound to cause unhappiness in the lives of almost every
employee at some point or the other by denying what they desire. HR must
totally change to be Happiness Responsible Department. Even if it changes to become happiness department,
most employees will hate it for giving more happiness to their neighbors or colleagues
than to them by asking questions like why is he sponsored for foreign training and
not me/ or why is he given access to self-learning material and not me etc.? Sometimes
I wonder if our culture is by nature an unhappiness highlighting culture.
What is the way out? I am increasingly getting convinced
that spirituality at work place is
perhaps a significant way out. I have come to believe that no one can help you grow,
develop or become happy without your permission. In fact, we all should be facilitators
and owners of our own happiness and development. We should not depend on HR
department to create happiness and growth in our lives. HR departments are more
likely to be disciplining, controlling departments besides diagnosing and
developing departments. The latter occurs at group level and the former at
individual level. Hence HR has difficulty serving individuals. So why not take
charge of your HR. You are the master of your life, you are the planner,
dialogue creator, actor, director, marketer and event manager. Why depend on HR
department? If any they may be unknowingly creating constraints to be managed by
you at times. So, take ownership and start playing your role as “Your own HRD
Manager” and be responsible for your happiness, engagement, enhancement and
growth. Don’t expect anything from HR. If they do something sue it to your
advantage.
Advice to HR: Having said this my advice to my HR Friends
is that it is high time you change your course of action. Gone are the days
where you must take ownership for developing people. You must reorient yourself
and convert the HRD department to be one of Human Response Development department.
Your job perhaps is to help people to see sense in various organizational interventions
and take charge of their happiness by altering their responses to various organizational
or HRD interventions; be it training, Performance management, 360 Feedback,
Assessment and development centers, recruitment, postings, incentives, facilities, leaves, job enrichment exercises
and the like.
