The Top 7 Behaviors That Make An HR Manager A Rising Star

These are important roles; however, they are different in scope of responsibilities, level of authority, and level of influence within the organization than those required to be a successful HR manager.

Essentially, in making the career transition to a management position, the core competencies change dramatically, and, without knowing how to shift behavior to perform well in a leadership role, the tendency of the newly-promoted is to continue working the same way. Unfortunately, this is not the correct or most productive way to start your management career.

Yes, moving into leadership can be uncomfortable. When a leader goes to work every day, on top of the box is the boss/business owner and the higher-ups who create "top down" pressure to get things accomplished. From the sides are pressures from peers who also needs things accomplished, but also may have other agendas that don't align with HR's.

Also, "bottom up" pressure is exerted by direct reports who need clear direction, prioritization of their work, coaching, feedback, mentoring, help resolving conflicts, professional development, etc.

As such, working effectively as a manager requires different skills than working as an individual contributor, as your performance is measured on much more than just your own accomplishment of tasks.
