#60 - Hacking ownership with steward-ownership, with Gijsbert Koren from We Are Stewards.mp3

🎙️ Episode summary:

In this episode, Gijsbert Koren explains how steward ownership helps companies stay true to their mission by separating voting rights from economic rights. Instead of maximizing profits for shareholders, the company serves its purpose long-term. Gijsbert shares examples like Patagonia and Time to Momo, and discusses the pros (mission continuity, employee engagement) and cons (harder fundraising, smaller financial exits).


📖 In this episode:

(00:00) The power of ownership

(34:03) Transitioning to steward ownership


💡 Key takeaways:

  • Consider steward ownership to keep your company mission-focused.
  • Separate voting rights from economic rights to enable self-governance.
  • Define “enough” profit to align financial goals with your company’s purpose.
  • Involve stakeholders in steward selection for diverse perspectives.
  • Weigh the challenges of attracting capital against the benefits of mission control.

We have enjoyed producing the People masterminds podcast for over 3 years now. And after 3 years, we want to make it better and inspire even more listeners.

This episode will give you insights to think about. Subject matter expert Dieter Veldsman from AIHR is our guest and sheds his bright light on this question from different angles, including financial wellbeing.

Deze podcast wordt gesponsord door Personio.

In een scale-up is er flink werk aan de winkel voor het Learning & Development team 🤓. Je wil een geweldige onboardingservaring bieden, zorgen dat er voldoende ontwikkelmogelijkheden zijn voor alle collega’s, first-time managers op weg helpen in hun nieuwe rol en nog veel meer. Een training kan hiervoor een fantastisch startpunt zijn. Maar waar begin je precies, hoe zorg je ervoor dat iedereen ook daadwerkelijk komt opdagen en hoe meet je nu de impact van zo’n training?

Daar praten we over met Manouk Lohuis van Picnic en Bo Dury van Lepaya in de nieuwste People masterminds podcast.

How to structure your People & Culture team in a scale-up? That's what we’re talking about in our newest podcast.

Building the People team in a scale-up is a hot topic in our conversations with founders and People leaders. Who should be your first hire? How big should the team be?

#33 - Fractional Work; why not share your employee?! with Hung Lee from Recruiting Brainfood.mp3

#33 - Fractional Work; why not share your employee?! with Hung Lee from Recruiting Brainfood.mp3

This podcast is sponsored by Lepaya.

The concept of 'fractional work' is a hotly debated topic at the moment. We're in the middle of an evolving labor market and many business leaders and recruiters are looking at options to fill the long gaps for unfilled jobs. How to fill positions efficiently with the limited availability of resources and maximum results? The innovative, new idea of fractional work can be the solution. Filling in that tough position, while also increasing efficiency, advancing skills, and uplifting careers.

The demand for fractional work is growing and is -up till now - still supply driven by specialists. What is fractional work, why is this concept a hotly debated topic and what are the pros and cons? We discuss this with the one and only Hung Lee, Curator of Recruiting Brainfood, the best weekly newsletter in recruitment.

Hung refers to the companies Roleshare and Tandemploy. Take a look to learn more about jobsharing.

Geen podcast-zomerstop voor People masterminds 🤩 Luister naar onze nieuwste podcast met Sophie van Gool, auteur van het boek 'Waarom vrouwen minder verdienen - en wat we er aan kunnen doen', mede-oprichter van Salaristijger en columnist bij het FD. 

Wist je dat 75% van de werkgevers ten onrechte denkt dat er geen loonkloof is tussen mannen en vrouwen? Dat die loonkloof er niet is omdat vrouwen niet onderhandelen en dat vrouwen vooral worden beoordeeld op wat ze hebben laten zien terwijl een man wordt beoordeeld op zijn potentieel? Luister naar deze en meer belangrijke inzichten en leer hoe je actie kunt ondernemen in je organisatie.

In de wereld van scale-ups krijgen veel ondernemers een beetje jeuk als ze het woord 'Ondernemingsraad' horen. Als het even kan, stellen we dit het liefst zo lang mogelijk uit. Is dat wel zo verstandig? Steeds meer bedrijven durven het aan om met een alternatief te komen. Mag dat en hoe zou dit eruit kunnen zien?

The latest People masterminds podcast is another English version, with our very own team.

In this episode, we focus on career paths within scale-ups. 🚀 We often get asked how to outline an attractive career path for your team, especially when it is still a fairly flat organization without too many layers and hierarchies.

Should you set fixed career paths or not? Listen to our conversation where we share our experiences on how to encourage individual growth. In any case, this goes beyond a training budget and the traditional career ladder.

Deze podcast wordt gesponsord door Personio.


Feedback geven en vragen is belangrijk. Punt. Daar hoefden we geen hele podcast over te maken. En toch ontaardt een gesprek over feedback vaak in een discussie over de beste feedbackvragen (handig), de tooling (superhandig) of over de juiste benaming (feedback, feedforward, advies... allemaal goed). 

Maar hoe zorg je er simpelweg voor dat we het gewoon doen...? Hoe kun je dit als organisatie faciliteren en wat is de verantwoordelijkheid van ieder individu?

Luister naar deze geweldig nuchtere podcast met Roland Grootenboer van Google. Over feedback als het 'smeermiddel van de organisatie', experimenten, de beste feedback die we ooit hebben gehad en meer!

Well-being is a topic you can't ignore anymore these days. The attention employers pay to this is also growing rapidly. Still, many of us struggle with how to make well-being truly a part of the company culture.

We interviewed Arosha Brouwer, co-founder and CEO at Quan (employee well-being software), and asked many questions, including:

  • Why should every organization want this?
  • What role should People & Culture teams and the CEO play when it comes to this topic?
  • Where does the responsibility of the employer stop?

Designing your organization can be quite challenging. What worked well yesterday might not be the best solution for tomorrow, due to changes such as (international) expansion and acquisitions. You don’t want to slow down your organization. You want to keep the level of innovation high and the decision-making processes agile, so what do you do?

We interviewed @Chris Yeh about building a strong and future-proof organization, as part of creating the Techleap People & Culture scale-up guide. Chris is an entrepreneur, investor, and co-author, along with Reid Hoffman, of Blitzscaling, the book that explains how to build world-changing companies like Amazon and Airbnb in record time.

Never waste a good crisis... Het is zo'n cliché en misschien juist daarom wel zo waar. Voor The Student Hotel zeker. In de afgelopen twee jaar heeft zij haar strategie grondig herzien. Hoe kunnen we de klant nog meer centraal stellen en wat is de rol van People & Culture daarin? Dit resulteerde in een totale make-over. Niet door middel van een plan dat al van A tot Z uitgestippeld was, maar een stap-voor-stap aanpak om nog beter te worden in wat ze al deden.

People masterminds holidays edition podcast, sponsored by YourCampus.

The very last People masterminds podcast for this year is live, we’d like to wrap up the year in style. This time not just one guest, but the entire People masterminds team ánd the podcast is in English 🥳

The topic? New practices! In business, you have a lot of “best practices”. In reality, these best practices don’t necessarily mean that it is a very good idea to do this, but often just that many companies have been doing it for years. Sometimes against all odds. What if we all started looking more closely at "new practices"? Things that not many companies are doing yet, but certainly should be doing more. Listen to this podcast for a fresh dose of inspiration for 2022 🤩

We discussed the following tools:

Lisa Dimitrowa van Sharesquare neemt ons deze podcast mee in medewerkersparticipatie. Steeds meer scale-up ondernemers willen hun team laten delen in de waardegroei van het bedrijf. Maar hoe pak je dit goed aan? Medewerkersparticipatie kan namelijk een nogal juridisch en financieel doolhof zijn. Wil je bijgepraat worden over de voor- en nadelen van STAK, SAR's, ESOP en meer?

We praten met Japke-d. Bouma over de onduidelijke en veelal onzinnige woorden die ‘HR’ dagelijks gebruikt en hoe dit soort jargon de boodschap die je wilt overbrengen ontkracht.

We hebben het o.a. over de opkomst van start- en scale-ups en hun invloed op de taal die bedrijven vandaag de dag gebruiken (lees: de Engelse ziekte), waar het mis gaat met taal in vacatureteksten en welke woorden ‘HR’ meer mag gebruiken om een betere aansluiting te maken met medewerkers en managers? Leer van Japke-d. hoe je de boodschap die je overbrengt, kunt versimpelen en word je bewust van de taal die je gebruikt.
