In this episode of The Talent Sherpa Podcast, Jackson Lynch lays out a straight-talking case for why HR must stop measuring effort and start measuring impact.

If your team is tracking training hours, counting resume screens, and organizing Earth Day events—but can’t show business results—you’re not doing strategic HR. You’re doing admin.

With humor, hard truth, and a story about poor ol’ Jimmy (who meant well but missed the point), Jackson unpacks how to align HR work with enterprise value. Learn why the best HR teams speak the language of outcomes, protect their time like capital, and drive results the CEO actually cares about.

Perfect for CHROs, HRBPs, and any senior leader tired of HR-as-activities and ready for HR-as-impact.
