People leadership · For venture-backed leaders
Build the leadership your growth plan needs.
Your role
What’s on your desk?
- Your CEO still approves every hire. What should the next people leader own?
- You need a VP, but the role combines recruiting, HR and operations. What are you actually hiring for?
- Responsibilities changed after a reorg. How do you keep key people when promotions and pay can’t keep pace?
For example · People leadership
Before you open the VP search.
Your situation
Say your proposed VP role covers recruiting, HR and office operations. Your CEO wants one person to take it all on, but the hiring team hasn’t agreed what comes first.
How we could help
We help arrange a conversation with a people leader who has hired for that mix. Bring the draft role and the responsibilities still sitting with your CEO.
What you decide
Decide what the VP must own from day one and which responsibilities belong elsewhere.
A situation you might face. You decide what to act on.
