#50 - Kelly Mendez-Scheib
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m joined by Kelly Mendez-Scheib, Chief People Officer, PhD candidate in Leadership and board advisor, with over 15 years of experience in global People strategy.
We explore the tension at the heart of People leadership: how to build trust while serving both employees and the organisation.
We discuss why HR is often perceived as a distrusted function, what it takes to earn a seat at the leadership table, how leaders balance growth with tough people decisions and where to draw the line on AI in hiring and performance.
A practical conversation for People leaders, Talent leaders and founders building at scale.
