ABOUT THE RESEACH FOR RESET

At its heart, Reset provides an inside look at how leaders lead in times of crisis and provides a playbook for reinventing an enterprise no matter the crucible it finds itself in.

A hallmark of this book is SHRM’s proprietary research and evidence-based insights designed to master organizational transformation through its people. For SHRM’s globally recognized research has been used to inform CEO perspectives on workplace issues related to sourcing talent and chief human resources officer (CHRO) insights into the employee experience. Based upon probability-based sampling and innovative data sciences, this book presents a holistic look at organizational behavior from a practical angle.

Whether your imperative is to thrive during chaos or lead the necessary transformation long overdue within your organization, the key is in the data. Leaders who leverage data make informed decisions even when just confirming their gut instincts. In Reset, data plays a leading role in making the point for all leaders met with crisis—use the information available to you and make the crisis your opportunity.
