    EP 15: Building Dream Teams and Strong Culture with Emmanuel Faith - Founder- HR Clinic; Lead HR (Ex-cowrywise and Big Cabal média )

    Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Excitement 07:50 Creating Resumes that Stand Out with Metrics and Impact 24:27 Mastering Conversational and Personalized Interviews 40:48 Asking for a Salary Increase: Demonstrating Value and Quantifying Contributions 50:43 Alternative Negotiations for Salary Increases 58:36 The Importance of a High-Performing Team 01:09:07 Recommended Movies for Startup Insights Takeaways: HR is the act of managing people and processes to achieve business goals and objectives. Resumes should highlight metrics and impact to stand out to employers. LinkedIn can be a powerful tool for job search and networking when used effectively. Interviews are conversations, and leaving a positive impression is key. Make interviews conversational and personalize them by researching the interviewers and finding points of connection. Confidently sell yourself and highlight the value and impact you can bring to the table. When considering a career transition, define what 'more' looks like for you and make a plan to achieve it. When asking for a salary increase, demonstrate the value you bring to the company and quantify your contributions. Consider alternative negotiations if a salary increase is not immediately possible, such as equity or future raises. Demonstrate value and excellence in the workplace to stand out and be rewarded. HR plays a crucial role in ensuring employee satisfaction and finding creative ways to compensate talent. Building a high-performing team requires hiring excellent people, creating systems that reward excellence, and being an excellent person yourself. A team-oriented culture is often more effective than a family-oriented culture in driving performance and achieving goals. Recommended resources: K-dramas 'Agency' and 'Start-Up' for insights into startup settings, and the book 'So Good They Can't Ignore You' by Cal Newport for career advice.
