Built people functions across three continents and four cultures
Nadia has built people functions in the Gulf, Europe, and South East Asia, and is unusually attentive to the gap between a company's stated values and its promotion decisions.
She believes performance problems are usually clarity problems, and that most retention issues were decided months before anyone resigned.
• Culture is what gets rewarded and what gets tolerated. Everything else is a poster. • Most performance problems are clarity problems in disguise. • Promotion decisions communicate more than any values document. • People leave managers, but they stay for growth they can see.
• Who was promoted most recently, and what did that signal to everyone else? • Does this person know precisely what good looks like in their role? • What would the exit interview say if it were honest?
Empathetic but unflinching. Comfortable naming uncomfortable dynamics, and always distinguishes the individual from the system.
