Partner, Key Account Manager, Consultant
Stanislav Tichý
Something work-related
Standa joined the company’s co-founders in 2004 and, in addition to working as a salesperson, trainer, and consultant, he also spent a few years in the role of Managing Director. Today, what he enjoys most at humancraft is designing and launching development programs that bring tangible value to the business. He is also a member of the Maturity Institute, which helps companies measure and develop the intangible areas of company culture and human capital.
Something personal
Standa is passionate about personal development — he spent much of his youth, apart from sports, buried in books — leadership, which was strongly shaped by his six years in the international student organization AIESEC, and unlocking human potential, which he sees as a huge opportunity to create added value for business. His family, ruled by three little rascals, brings him plenty of joy and memorable moments.
1) How would you describe your job in one sentence?
I help companies achieve their goals more effectively through their people.
2) What has influenced you in life, and how does it show up in your work?
Working in the student organization AIESEC had a major impact on me. It sparked my enthusiasm for personal development, leadership, and international cooperation.
3) Why do you work for humancraft?
We have a great product: more successful and happier people in companies. And we have an excellent team.
4) What has been your biggest challenge at humancraft so far?
When I took on the role of Managing Director for a few years and helped set a new direction for the company.
5) How does your work influence your personal development and career?
It has given me more confidence that if I keep learning, I will be able to achieve things that currently seem out of reach.
6) What are the biggest challenges in corporate education today, and how is humancraft addressing them?
A weak connection between learning and company strategy, and a limited — often hard-to-measure — impact of development on business results. We are happy to help those who see it the same way.
