It's been 5 years since I left the corporate world and entered into the start-up sector. To say it's been a rollercoaster ride is an understatement!  The learnings, about myself and business, have been huge. And only continue. Some of the businesses have succeeded, others have not.  I won't lie, that's been tough to endure (both personally and professionally). But it also clarified for me what's essential for success. In my experience, it often boils down to a few critical elements, which I've attempted to summarise below and dig further into in a recent interview with Global Women Leader magazine (link : https://qrcd.org/5ubw) 💡 Vision and Adaptability: Successful startups typically have a clear vision coupled with the ability to pivot when necessary. Flexibility in strategy and product-market fit is crucial as markets evolve.  👥 Team Dynamics: The right team with complementary skills, a strong sense of commitment, and shared values can propel a startup forward. Culture fit and resilience are often underestimated factors.  🚀 Execution and Resource Management: Effective execution of plans, efficient resource allocation, and disciplined financial management are pivotal, especially in the early stages.  ⏰ Market Timing and Validation: Timing plays a crucial role. Startups that validate their ideas early and iterate based on customer feedback are more likely to succeed. Perhaps some of you can relate?! #HRManagement #Startups #CompanyCulture #Innovation #HRStrategy #jitjatjo #gigeconomy

The numbers simply don't lie.” - Price What steps do you think are needed first to foster gender equality and create more inclusive workplace environments?
