Managing the Person, Not the Role with Alex Genetti
Listen now
Description
Exceptional business growth requires exceptional human growth. It’s important to give employees plenty of avenues to take agency over their own careers. Only eight years ago, Alex Genetti, Head of People at Enable, started as a people coordinator and quickly elevated to leading a people function. In that short time, she mastered several skills that support her leadership abilities, including confidence in concise and effective communication about what matters to who matters. Alex shares her insights on an employee’s responsibility to prioritize professional development resources. She emphasizes that they need to have the motivation to learn and develop themselves. The conversation continues about work cultures of transparency and trust that allow employees to voice their concerns and aspirations. Each employee experience is unique, and effective HR leaders lean into managing the person, not the role. After all, people don’t always leave companies; they leave managers.   For the entire interview, subscribe to HR Superstars on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Stitcher. Or tune in on our website.
