HR Superstars

HR Superstars comes from 15Five, the continuous performance management platform, and features conversations with strategic people leaders who are willing to share what actually works rather than what sounds good in a keynote. Launched in 2021, the show has built up nearly 200 episodes with a perfect 5.0 rating from 118 reviews, which tells you something about how its audience feels. Host Adam Weber, VP of Community at 15Five, guides discussions that range from 35 to 42 minutes, with occasional shorter minisodes around 10 minutes. The topics skew toward the strategic side of HR: manager enablement, data-driven decision making, psychological safety, conscious leadership, and how to handle high-performer burnout before it tanks your retention numbers. Guest appearances from CHROs and VP-level people leaders keep the conversation grounded in executive-level thinking. What sets this show apart is its focus on connecting HR practice to business outcomes. Episodes frequently circle back to how people strategies translate into measurable results, making it particularly useful for HR professionals who need to justify their initiatives to the C-suite.
