Hello Friends,
Yesterday I attended an HR forum where the above subject matter was discussed. Several people shared their views. I would like to know from you what the major credentials are required for an HR professional to become a CEO of a company. I am not aware of any HR individual who has become a CEO. Please let me know if you have come across any such cases.

Kiran,
The CEO should ideally come from the Operations side as the person from HR lacks the technical/operations background. A company's financial performance is heavily dependent on how well the operations perform. This is my opinion. Let us wait for others' opinions on this.

Hey Kiran,
We have been discussing this topic for a long time, and many experts feel that the major reason HR professionals may not be fit for the position of CEO is their lack of financial acumen and understanding of various business models, which are crucial for an organization.
Here is a link from a forum where a similar topic was discussed in the past:

You have many companies where HR heads have become CEOs. It's possible, and there are several examples. Archana's post will help clarify a few more things. Guess all you got to do is search/research first :-)

Hi Archana,
I've received the poll responses from the members through the link you provided. I will get back to you with my queries, if any, once I go through Prof. Lakshman's text on the cited subject.
Thank you for sharing.

Dear Archna,
I've read Prof. Lakshman's post thoroughly, and the interview with Don Mathews was quite satisfactory and very informative. It has given me a clear understanding of the role and responsibility of an HR professional who aspires to become a CEO.
Thanks again.
