Talent Management in Difficult Times
Talent management is always an important functionality but it difficult or lean times it becomes even more critical.

Are You a Great Manager?
A twenty-five year Gallup study of over eighty thousand managers discovered the secrets of great managers. Here’s what the research uncovered -- Great managers hire employees based on talent, not experience. This flies in the face of the arguments I hear from sales managers all over the country. They want experienced salespeople. Gallup found that great managers look at talent, not just history.
Most of the Time Talent's Not Enough
You're a talented writer, designer, speaker, consultant, coach, salesperson, but doors aren't flying open for you. Why not? Talent, I'm afraid, is assumed - a lot of people have talent. It's the price to get into the game. Talent, married with creativity, however, is how you get out of the cheap seats. (In fact, creativity will allow you to get places with lesser talent than others - oops, potential self indictment)
How to Build a Great Team
Success in the workplace is no different than success in sports. It’s about having the best talent and using that talent, knowledge, skill and strength in the right place at the right time so you and your team can win the game. Do you know who your best talent is? Have you told them? Are you taking care of them? If not…Why not?
Those With the Best Talent Win
In a talent war there’s only one way win. And that is to hire and retain the best talent! Can you imagine a sports coach hiring average talent! As a manager you need to develop a real distaste for average.

***HOW TO KEEP YOUR BEST PEOPLE***
This article was created to help hiring managers reduce attrition and retain their top talent.

Roadsigns and Retention
Retaining the talent we work so hard to recruit and train is important and deserves attention. Good managers know this. Unfortunately, these same good managers often get so sidetracked putting out fires that so-called ‘maintenance’ activities get pushed to the bottom of the priority list. Read on for more...

"Doing What Comes Naturally"
One of the key skills of managers is to spot talent and nurture it. Not just in the odd person who comes along with obvious talent, but in those who are unaware of their talents or those who keep them hidden. Read this article to find out why nurturing talent is the secret to organisational success.
America’s Got Talent?
If you have been watching NBC on Monday nights recently you may have seen the show “America’s Got Talent”. It doesn’t specify what kind of talent America’s got – just that we have it. Tonight we had examples of talent from midget break dancers, a Frank Sinatra wanna-be, and a group of eleven year old dancing girls. I guess they define “talent” quite loosely on this show. Which brings me to the following question: just how do you define talent? Personally, I have been known to strum the banjo, but does that kind of talent prepare anyone to ascend the management ladder in today’s corporate America? I think not.

Strategic Succession Management - Winning the War for Leadership Talent
The demand for leadership talent greatly exceeds supply. Few firms are prepared for what the McKinsey consulting firm has called the "war for talent." If economic growth continues at a modest 2 percent for the next 15 years, there would be a need for one-third more senior leaders than there are today. The supply of 35- to 44-year-old managers-who have traditionally been channeled into the executive ranks-is declining in the United States and will have dropped by 15 percent between 2000 and 2015. Baby boomers have already started to retire. Most large companies will have to scramble to meet gaps in senior leadership talent. Not only are the numbers in the talent pool shrinking, but the quality of talent required to meet tomorrow's leadership demands is changing.
Flipping the Coin for Top Talent - How Well Are You Hiring?
How do great leaders of successful companies spend half of their time? They spend it on people: recruiting new talent, picking the right people for positions, grooming young stars, developing global managers, dealing with under-performers, and reviewing the entire talent pool. Everyone agrees that talent is an important competitive advantage, but surprisingly, three out of four companies do not make their talent management programs a high priority. Hiring practices often are random and decisions often are based on intuition. In many cases, hiring decisions have success rates similar to flipping a coin!
