In this episode, I delve into the often-overlooked function of Human Resources (HR) and explore its critical role in driving growth and profitability for fast-growing startups.

You'll discover why many Founders and CEOs undervalue HR and how this mindset can be detrimental to their businesses.

I break down the three main reasons HR is frequently sidelined:

1. Myopic vision from leadership
2. HR's inability to impact the business
3. Silo thinking within HR departments

Join me as I debunk the myth that HR is merely an administrative function and reveal how strategic HR can be a game changer based on real data.

You'll learn what makes a strong HR leader, the importance of aligning HR with business objectives, and how HR can be the "glue" that holds everything together in an organization.

Tune in for practical advice on positioning HR as a growth enabler in your company. Whether you're a startup founder, a business leader, or an HR professional, this episode is packed with valuable content to help you harness the full potential of your HR team.
