The traditional CHRO role is being quietly eliminated. Not by AI. Not by the economy. By CHROs themselves.
Average CHRO tenure has dropped from 6 years to 4.8. Only 3 in 10 have a business background. 60% see themselves as C-suite equals — but only 12% are paid like it. The gap between how CHROs see themselves and how boards value them is the whole problem in one number.
In this episode — the foundation of a 7-part series — I break down why the traditional CHRO role is becoming obsolete, what the data actually says about where this is heading, and the five personas that separate the CHROs keeping their seat from the ones getting reorganized out of it.
In this episode:
- The quiet demotion pattern I’ve watched play out across dozens of organizations
- The Josh Bersin data nobody wants to talk about out loud
- Why the real problem is language, not awareness
- The Five Personas of the Modern CHRO: The Architect, The Engineer, The Scientist, The COO, The Coach
- The one question I use to benchmark every CHRO I work with
