Join Jason for an insightful episode with Halai Shukran, Chief Operating Officer of Pluribus Digital. Known for her strong background in HR leadership and people strategy, Halai offers an engaging, real-world perspective on how HR can become a true driver of business value.
In this episode, Halai shares her extraordinary journey from HR and corporate training to the C-suite, breaking down how empathy, business acumen, and a relentless focus on both people and outcomes propelled her forward. Together, they explore the nuanced distinction between aligning people to business strategy and aligning business strategy down to people, revealing why both are essential for managers looking to make an impact.
Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include:
๐ The difference between aligning people to business strategy (translating people initiatives up to deliver business results) and aligning business strategy to people (empowering every team member to see their role in the big picture).
๐ Why building your business acumen as a leader is as vital as mastering your own functionโand how that cross-functional curiosity sets you apart.
๐ How to navigate resistance from leaders by choosing your battles, building cross-functional allies, and searching for high-impact, low-effort wins.
๐ The crucial role of transparency and consistent communication during times of uncertainty, especially when your people are looking to you for reassurance and clarity.
