, We dedicate this book to all HR professionals who constantly strive to do better.
I dedicate this book to the memories of the six remarkable women my family collectively call the Lincoln Ladies.
They were strong, determined, and intelligent women. Two of these women in particular, my mother Marian
Lincoln Dance and maternal grandmother Leona Parminter Lincoln, held and passed on the admirable value and
habit that one should learn something new every single day. My sincerest thanks for the influence of these very
special women.
—Beverly
I dedicate this book to two career-impactful bosses of mine: Peter Raisbeck, CEO, and Jim Benson, COO. They
understood the value of what the HR function could be as a business partner for an organization. They mentored
me with the foundational knowledge and experience of tying HR operations and strategies into the organization’s
overall vision, grasping business acumen, and earning a seat at the executive round table.
—Dory
This book is dedicated to the HR professionals who choose to do an increasingly difficult job as our world
becomes more complex every day. You are carrying the banner for your employees and employers. Best wishes
for a wonderful career.
