Abstract

This chapter presents the desirable characteristics of the human resources director. Starting from the base that human resources director needs a great responsibility in the decision-making, a series of necessary characteristics that facilitate their work are established. Among them is justified the need to have great humility, technical knowledge, initiatives, knowledge of their employees and extensive human training, command capacity, and exercise true leadership. All of them contribute to the improvement by the manager of the company’s human capital and therefore of its business competitiveness.
