Leading with Integrity: The True Role of HR in Building Strong Teams

October 24, 2025 • Season 1 • Episode 41

In this behind-the-scenes episode, Luis Roman joins Rebecca to share what really happens at the intersection of HR, leadership, and company culture.

With years of experience across corporate, nonprofit, and startup environments, Luis gives us a human-centered take on what it means to lead with integrity, especially when systems fall short and people feel the impact.

We talk about:

Why HR should be the protector of both people and the organization
What to do when your values don’t align with leadership decisions
The emotional toll of enforcing policies you don’t believe in
How trust, transparency, and psychological safety actually get built
What it looks like to grow as a leader in public, and with accountability

This conversation is especially for leaders who’ve ever felt stuck between doing what’s right and doing what’s expected.
