OUR PROGRAM:

Navigating the Four Faces of HR Leadership

A Practical Approach to the Competing Values Framework

Join us Thursday, September 19, 2025 at 11:30am 

HR leaders today are expected to be culture champions, compliance experts, change agents, and strategic partners—often all at once. It’s no wonder we often feel pulled in too many directions. The Competing Values Framework (CVF) helps make sense of these tensions and gives HR professionals a practical roadmap to balance their multiple 'faces'.

In this interactive session, we’ll move beyond theory to explore how the four competing values show up in real-world HR decisions, and how to intentionally flex between them based on the needs of your team and organization.

Whether you're an HR generalist, manager, or business partner, you'll walk away with a clearer picture of your own leadership style—and tools to grow in areas that don’t come as naturally.

Why Attend?

Because navigating complexity is a key feature of the HR role —and clarity helps you lead better.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify the four core leadership orientations in the Competing Values Framework (CVF) and how they relate to key HR functions.
2. Assess their own dominant leadership style using a simple self-assessment tool.
3. Apply the CVF to real-world HR decisions, such as compliance, culture, change management, and employee engagement.
4. Adapt their leadership approach based on context, organizational goals, and team needs.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

• A practical understanding of the Competing Values Framework and how it applies to HR leadership
• A self-assessment to identify your primary style and blind spots
• Tips to strengthen your versatility and avoid defaulting to just one approach
• Real-life examples of how HR professionals can apply the CVF in performance management, culture shaping, policy decisions, and change initiatives
• A downloadable guide to bring back to your team and spark valuable conversations

Whether you're attending virtually or joining us in person, don’t miss this opportunity to learn and gain actionable ideas you can take back to your organization. Reserve your spot today!
