What are the first steps in developing a people strategy for a start up
To build a thriving people strategy, focus on the twin pillars of Leadership and Culture. Defining your organisation’s culture is paramount, as it helps you articulate the qualities, skills, and values of the individuals you wish to attract.
As a start-up, you have a remarkable chance to adopt a marketer’s mindset, gaining insights into the type of people you want to engage and crafting a culture that resonates with both them and your vision.
Leadership plays a crucial role in any business, but it is especially significant in a start-up environment. Founders and leaders not only set the vision but also embody the organisation’s values. In a start-up, these values must be crystal clear, well-defined, and, above all, genuinely lived out.
Once your cultural framework is firmly established, your workforce demand roadmap, aligned with your business objectives, will guide your organisational design. From this point onward, the focus shifts to attracting the right talent. Seek individuals who are passionate about making a difference, and if their values align with yours, empower them to thrive.
Why do I need to look at the combination of emotional intelligence, leadership and skills?
In the dynamic and competitive landscape of today’s world, it’s crucial for a business leader to be more than just skilled in their role. They must also possess emotional intelligence to navigate and steer their organization towards success in such an environment.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, as well as recognize and influence the emotions of others. It’s important because it helps in:
- Building strong relationships: High EQ enables better communication and collaboration.
- Managing stress: It helps you stay calm under pressure.
- Conflict resolution: You can handle disputes effectively and empathetically.
- Leadership: Leaders with high EQ can inspire and motivate their teams12.
Leadership
Effective leadership is essential for guiding teams and organizations towards their goals. Key reasons why leadership is important include:
- Vision and direction: Leaders provide a clear vision and direction, helping teams stay focused.
- Motivation: Good leaders inspire and motivate their teams to achieve their best.
- Decision-making: Leaders make critical decisions that impact the entire organization.
- Culture and morale: Effective leaders foster a positive work environment and culture34.
Skills Evaluation
Regular skills evaluation helps in identifying strengths and areas for improvement. Its importance lies in:
- Personal development: Employees can focus on developing their skills and advancing their careers.
- Performance improvement: It helps in setting goals and measuring progress.
- Training needs: Identifies gaps that can be addressed through targeted training.
- Organizational growth: Ensures that the workforce is skilled and capable of meeting the organization’s needs.
Together, these elements create a productive, positive, and efficient workplace as well as a motivated, collaborative and more resilent team.
