Simon Sinek points out, “100% of employees, customers and investors are people. If you don’t understand people, you don’t understand business.”
I completely agree, and will add: 100% of distribution agents, channel partners, suppliers and key stakeholders are also people.
Human Resources (#HR) is viewed by many as a fluffy specialization, and often perceived as a soft-skill more suited to women than men.
However, understanding of people is a critical skill with significant implications in all dimensions of work – whether you are an Entrepreneur, Manager or CxO.
It follows, therefore, that managing Human Resources is every one’s job.
