The Death of Best Practices

Best practices are dead-or mediocre at best.

As HR leaders, we must cultivate a growth mindset to lift our businesses and our partners toward a meaningful and sustainable approach to problem-solving. Without a deliberate approach to cultivating a growth mindset, our work and impact as HR leaders will stagnate into a mindless pursuit of transactional excellence.

In The Death of Best Practices: Reimagining HR through Cultivating Growth Mindset, Dr. Susan Chen invites you to explore HR leadership centered around curiosity and grit and not the standard "been-there" and "done-that" playbooks from best practices.

The Death of Best Practices is written by an HR practitioner for HR practitioners. Dr. Chen guides you through a self-reflective inquiry approach designed as a starting point for your growth practice journey. Dr. Chen's HR Growth Mindset Framework will serve as the guide for you to find the path to activate your curiosity, practice your grit, and become a growth-minded HR leader.
