[FourthCanvas x Paystack] Leading from within

​A lot has changed since Yaba was the heart of it all.

​Back when founders couldn’t find good enough talent. Times when the biggest hiring challenge was availability. It was a struggle to find someone who could design the app, write the code, or manage the backlog.

​We have now grown past those times. We have more talent, but culture is broken.

​This is why we're partnering with Paystack to host this timely conversation for founders, operators, and HR professionals on how to build a powerful internal culture that fosters great work and inspires an authentic external brand.
