A BOU T T HE AU T HORS

Organizations exist to create value both inside to employees and
outside to customers, investors, and communities. When inter-
nal leadership and human resource practices align to external
expectations, organizations survive and thrive.

Dave Ulrich is a professor at the University of Michigan
Ross School of Business and a partner at The RBL Group, a
consulting firm focused on helping organizations and leaders
deliver value. He studies how organizations build capabili-
ties of leadership, speed, learning, accountability, and talent
through leveraging human resources. He has helped gener-
ate award-winning databases that assess alignment between
strategies, human resource practices, and HR competencies.
His writing, teaching, and coaching have helped shaped the
role of human resources in global organizations. His work
has helped leaders both become more personally effective
and build better leadership throughout their organizations.
He has helped to redefine organizations more by the capa-
bilities they deliver to customers and investors than by their
structure and systems.
Dave has published more than 150 articles and book
chapters and 22 books. He edited Human Resource Manage-
ment 1990–1999 and has served on editorial board of four
