Every CHRO loves a good aspiration. Build an engaged culture. Be the employer of choice. Create a world-class talent strategy. The only problem? None of those are measurable—and none of them move the P&L.
In this episode of The Talent Sherpa Podcast, Jackson Lynch goes straight at one of HR’s most expensive bad habits: the addiction to aspirational goals. These lofty slogans sound good in PowerPoint, but they don’t allocate capital, lift margin, or speed up execution. Jackson breaks down how to trade empty ambition for business alignment using a framework he calls From Aspirations to Allocation.
He shares two real client stories—one CHRO buried in culture decks while product launches slipped 90 days, another who fixed a manufacturing backlog by asking one deceptively simple question: Which jobs, if upgraded, would move the needle in the next two quarters?
You’ll learn the three traps that keep HR stuck in “feel good” mode—outcome drift, survey worship, and fairness by dilution—and how to escape them. Then, Jackson walks through a five-step system to pinpoint the 5% of roles that truly drive performance, rebuild them around business outcomes, evaluate incumbents with brutal clarity, and reallocate time, attention, and dollars where they actually matter.
This episode is a field guide for every CHRO who wants to be known as a builder, not a caretaker. The message is clear: aspirations don’t allocate, and culture follows results, not the other way around.
