How do you get certain in an uncertain world?

Why is seeking out variance in your life the key to personal and professional growth?

My guest on this episode is the one and only Dave Ulrich, Professor at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan and a partner at The RBL Group

In our conversation, Dave opens up about his personal journey and shares insights that have guided his influential career as we discuss...

  • How his parents' values shaped his view that work is an opportunity, not a burden
  • Why a pivotal college course redirected him from law to a groundbreaking career in HR
  • The importance of building on existing knowledge rather than reinventing HR concepts
  • His personal motto "the best is yet to come" and how it drives continuous learning
  • Why embracing variance in thinking leads to personal growth and innovation in HR practices
