My focus has addressed questions on how organizations add value to customers and investors through both leadership and strategic human resource practices. In the human resource area, I will explore how Dave Ulrich’s redefined and upgraded Human Resource theory effects the decisions of large organizations like Audi. With his colleagues Jon Younger and Wayne Brockbank, Ulrich has articulated how the modern HR organization can be organized into shared services, centres of expertise, and business partners. I will also look at how HR practices are aligned to customer needs and integrated organization around capabilities. And by focusing on the outcomes of effective leadership it will increase customer share, shareholder value and also synthesizer the thicket of leadership competency models into a unified view of leadership. I would also like to get familiar how leaders concentrate on the individual and try to help the individual become a better leader. Like Ulrich sad that “leadership as a pattern is becoming more important than leadership as a person. From the inside and from the outside: often good leadership focuses on the inside of an individual (what can I do and what do I do) and the inside of the company (what do we need.)” They have also suggested that leadership should come from the customer’s wish. Based on these two themes, they have recommended the creation of a brand of leadership that starts with identifying the customer’s vision of the company brand and related expectations. They aim to match the brand of leadership with the company brand by listening to the external vision customers have about what leaders should know in order to deliver value to the customer. On the basis of the leadership brand standards, Businesses can deliver leadership that result in creating value. Also how HR has an important role in working out a development process for future leaders. I would take an even closer look at the four major points that Ulrich has developed during his researches and widely used since then. First of all Change management is a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state The field of change management grew from the recognition that organizations like Audi are comprised of people. And the behaviours of people make up the outputs of the organization. Then how will the Administration part of the Human Resource team issue the conditional written offer letter, the Statement of Terms and Conditions of Employment and other information applicable to every single position. And how they will carry out other pre-employment checks as required. How appropriate, arrangements will be made by the Human Resources team for a pre-employment. I want take an even further look into the performance appraisal and how large businesses like Audi deals with behavioural observation scale and behaviourally anchored rating scales, and why Trait-based system, which rely on factors such as integrity and conscientiousness, should not be used by businesses.

My final goal is to become a CFO at one of the major Companies or Banks in the world.
