“Redefining HR has the potential to transform HR. Lars Schmidt is a beacon of light, and his bold vision may well elevate a long-marginalized field into the force for good that it deserves to be.”

“The thing I love most about Lars in his unique ability to listen, synthesize, and then articulate - very simply - some of the most interesting, forward-thinking trends in the industry.”

“Lars has such a unique vantage point on all things people. What makes him so special is his ability to distill so many sources and inputs through his unique lens to paint a picture of what we can be at our best.”

“Lars is a gifted storyteller and harnesses his own unique voice and those of many other people leaders to paint a picture of what great HR can be. This book is essential reading for anyone looking to build people teams for today and tomorrow.”
