What You Deserve to Know as a People Leader
Wednesday, November 4, 2026, 1:00 pm CT
People leaders are expected to advocate for employees, protect the business, and absorb tension, often without the authority to change what’s causing it. Drawing on more than 100 hours of coaching conversations with senior people leaders, Adam Weber shares what the best do differently at every level. This fireside chat covers how to earn strategic credibility, speak up without diluting your message, treat culture as a system, and care deeply without carrying it all. Whether you lead the function or a team inside it, you’ll leave with language for what you’ve been feeling and practical ways to lead from a steadier place.
Learning outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- Shift from fixer to architect by building systems that solve recurring people problems without depending on constant personal intervention
- Raise hard issues with clarity and conviction, using a one-sentence approach that keeps the message from being diluted or dismissed
- Identify what their culture actually rewards and tolerates, including how to address high performers whose behavior undermines trust
- Set practical boundaries by defining what they own versus what they support, reducing over-functioning and the risk of quiet burnout
