Instead of treating employees as resources to be optimized, we walk through the entire employee journey through the lens of shepherd leadership rather than wolf leadership.


What we cover:

  • Redefining HR, and the real purpose of a business
  • Shepherd Leaders vs. Wolf Leaders
  • Hiring as an amanah
  • Compensation and benefits: paying on time (and a bonus tied to the Hijri calendar)
  • Onboarding as an amanah, and why culture onboarding matters most
  • Managing performance with amanah: what to overlook, what to confront, how to hold people accountable, and bringing barakah into performance conversations
  • Managing your people's spirituality, and protecting your team from Shaytaan
  • Offboarding as an amanah: when someone chooses to leave, and when you have to let someone go
