Hello boona,
Can you pl mention/explain the ACTUAL situation you want resolved rather than asking in generalities?
That will enable other members to focus better in their responses.
Your posting looks more like an exam question for which you want the answer(s).

(I wanted to know a answer who, when and What qualities a person should have to become a HR Head, that's why I raised a question in such a format).
Now can you explain it sir???

In such a case, you have to act according to the situations, circumstances, and Company needs. I have clearly indicated the qualities of a HR Manager in my articles. What else you require.Please specify your question so that I can answer you.

Hello boona,
Even though the situation you mentioned does lead to the queries you raised, it looks more like a REDESIGNATION issue more than anything else.
For whatever reason(s), the management seems to have decided so--it could be the result of the individual resigning or just to give him an 'ego satisfaction' of becoming the Head of a dept or anything else. Such instances are quite common in many SMEs.
And coming to your query, the necessary/desirable qualities/attributes in an individual for occupying a particular position are NOT necessarily linked in such situations. The person may end-up doing the same work which he/she used to do. You may have heard a term in management parlance: 'a kick upstairs'. The situation you mentioned looks more like it.
However, pl note that such decisions, when applied to those functions exposed to the outside world--vis-a-vis the company--like Sales, Marketing, etc, the logic/reason could be quite different.
Coming to your query of "Without having a team how a Manager can be a HR Head?"--there's nothing MANDATORY that there should be a team. A company with just <10 people has a MD while another company with >1000 employees too has a MD. Hope you get the point.
Like Suri Babu Komakula mentioned, handle issues according to the situation(s) & company needs.
All the Best.

Hi Boona,
I think to become the HR head you dont need to lead/head the HR department. HR itself says Human Resources. So HR works for entire department of company. Its managing the process related to every employees. So he/She can be HR head (who takes major decisions and contribute to the strategic development). If he has to handle only 2 members in his team then he does not require 2nd person.
I work for an IT company with 20 employees. and 1 HR is enough to handle HR activity. I am HR executive now, once I get promotion I will become Sr. HR Exe. (Although I would not have any Junior under me until unless no. of employee increase or my work load increases).
Do you understand what i mean to say? I tried to give my view.
If I am wrong plz correct me.
Thanks,
Debasree
