HR Leadership: Building High-Performing Teams and Driving Growth with Abdula Rasheed

The CHRO Mindset

In this discussion, Dr. Rasheed talks about a big gap he's noticed in how companies do performance reviews. Instead of just checking boxes once a year, he thinks companies should focus more on helping employees grow their skills. He's even planning to make a documentary to help companies pick the best way to do this.
Dr. Rasheed shares a story about facing pushback when introducing new HR rules. He learned that it's better to talk with everyone involved and listen to their worries. This way, everyone feels heard and is more likely to support the changes.
He also talks about how coaching and mentoring programs should be different for different levels of leaders. For example, mentoring is more about long-term growth, while coaching is about improving specific skills quickly.
Dr. Rasheed also shares some tips on using technology (like automation) to make workplaces more inclusive and diverse. He explains how he tackled this challenge in his past jobs.
Lastly, he talks about some books that changed how he leads. These books helped him understand people better and become a better leader overall.
