All entrepreneurs, by definition, are people managers. As founders and owners, they hire people, groom them, motivate them, and harness their talent towards effective management of enterprise. Yet most entrepreneurs believe that effective people management is common sense and is acquired through life experience.


While there is some truth to this belief, people management is also a science. It also comprises of principles, procedures and systems that need to be in place as the enterprise begins to grow. Many owners agree that in today’s economy people are the key differentiators in small and medium businesses.

  • Create awareness on the key principles of people management as it relates to entrepreneurs.

  • Critically analyze how HR practices contribute to the enterprise sustainability in the long run.

  • Understand the role that owner/founders play in creating high performing organization.


The best ideas and strategies are of no consequence without the right people to translate them to action and we would aim at throwing some light on these aspects.
