Startup People Clinic
Making People your strength and competitive advantage
A great founder is full of big questions
People Leadership
-
How do I make and communicate hard decisions in a way I can live with?
-
How do I tell people I have to make them redundant?
-
How do I lead effectively when there is increased uncertainty, and without face to face contact?
-
What should I focus on to add most value?
-
How do I make my board meetings more effective and useful?
Many of these are about people
People Strategy
-
How do I take advantage of the current talent market to strengthen the team?
-
If choices have to be made that will negatively impact people, how do I do that without damaging our culture?
-
How do I know who in the team is likely to make the best leader?
-
How do I make sure people are growing, developing and being recognised for that?
And founders often have to find the answers on their own
People Operations/Execution
-
What are my options if I need to cut people costs (furlough etc)?
-
How do I onboard people when we now work virtually?
-
What do I need to deal with a performance issue, and how do I do it on Zoom?
-
How should I manage promotions and compensation reviews?
