The HR manager displays the leadership and navigation competency by guiding the senior management team to look at the problem from a different angle, considering factors they might have previously overlooked. Even though the HR manager should aim to align the HR strategy' with the company's strategic goals, he has to evaluate the decisions of the executive leadership team to be sure that they are in the best interest of the company. The HR manager does not know if low employee engagement or a lack of communication are reasons for the low performance, so addressing these would not be helpful.
