About the book
Every HR professional can be classified as one of nine "Faces" based on career level and ability to innovate and drive change-knowing yours can transform your career.
In The 9 Faces of HR, popular blogger and CHRO Kris Dunn introduces a powerful framework that helps HR professionals identify their "face" through a behavioral assessment, then use that insight to drive personal and professional growth. Covering career paths, behavioral traits, ROI potential, industry trends and demand for each face, the book offers a strategic lens for understanding how HR roles vary, and how to move from where you are to where you want to be.
Ideal for HR practitioners at all levels, this is a blunt, practical and empowering playbook for building high-impact careers and teams.
