Are you ready for another new episode of Leading Between the Lines? This week we chatted to Thomas Forstner, the People Director at contract automation platform Juro. Juro are an award-winning client of ours, and we're honoured to have worked with Thomas and their leadership team including their founders Richard and Pavel.

Thomas was previously a guest on Series 2, and we wanted to catch up and see how the company has progressed in the last 12 months. We were delighted to hear that since he was last on the show, Juro has been named the best London start-up to work for by Tempo and they have since received £23 million in investment.

Thomas has been promoted to People Director, and he offers up some truly fantastic insights into why Juro received such an accolade, so it's no surprise why investors are keen to jump on board.

Thomas discusses the challenges of being promoted to the board from within, and also outlines the company’s core values - energy, clarity, and results. He goes on to explain what work needs to be done to execute these values, specifically with senior leaders.

Thomas goes on to talk about dealing with conflict within teams and discusses the importance of "being more human".  We finished up the interview by asking Thomas about his top three takeaways. And when you consider he's the People Director for London's no.1 company to work for, we were as excited as you were to hear what he had to say.
