Tech companies are in a big transition right now. They’re moving from a “growth at all costs” mentality to a focus on profitability.

Part of this shift means HR teams need to think differently about headcount. We can’t hire our problems away. Instead, we need to think about new forms of leverage.

How do you lead your teams to be thinking in a new way despite the whiplash speed of change?
