You might not expect to learn that your favorite Mexican restaurant has its own University. But when you head up human resources and training in a restaurant business with nearly 700 employees across two dozen locations in multiple states, creating your own educational platform makes perfect sense. “Intrapenista” Aleta Maxwell wears a lot of hats with HR, Finance, and Operations all a part of her job as Chief Human Resources Officer at Dos Toros Taqueria. Aleta joins Socialfly Co-Founder Stephanie Cartin for a conversation about building her career and describes her journey to success, including managing the “people part” of a successful business, the concept of service leadership, hiring for personality and training for skills, a decision-making process that considers the impact on others, and why making your job be what you need and want for longevity is priceless.
