I am sure you think you are doing a good job, the point of this question is how do you know?
Examples of high performing teams are pretty rare so whenever I find one, especially away from the realm of sport, it captures my attention. Amir D.

HR professionals come in all forms. Some are excellent, some are poor, most are somewhere in the middle.
How do you tell?
The only reliable answer is to look at the results they create in the business. However, if you are looking for a quick read, listen to how they speak.
I have the privilege of knowing quite a few excellent HR leaders. When they make a contribution they make sense, they clearly understand what is happening in the business. They ask questions about the business, they are passionate about helping the business.
