Your passengers and their placement will determine your success. That said, pursuing a Good To Great philosophy is not for everyone.

A Few "Talent Lessons" from the Arts
Been meaning to publish this for a while. If we are in an Age of Talent, then we can turn to guidance from arenas where the Big Idea of Talent has been standard fare for eons. Namely, the likes of the arts. I put together a single PPT slide called "A Few 'Talent Lessons' from the Arts." You'll find the content (pretty self-explanatory) below—and then another tiny Special Presentation. To wit
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.

"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.
COMMUNITY WEB, INTERVIEW, JOB AND TALENT
Today the greatest challenge in front of leaders is to find the right talent for their organisation. It has become quite difficult to get the best talent for their team. Leaders need to find ways in order to find the best and the right talent for their purposes.

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.

Loan and Lease Software Evaluation
With the abundance of loan and lease software choices in the market it can be somewhat difficult and daunting to know what to look for and how to narrow down the selection list. There are three important factors to consider during your evaluation. It may suprise you to learn that price should be at the bottom of the selection criteria list. Unfortunately it is often the key driving force in the selection process with potential for yielding unsatisfactory results down the road.

Estimating the Cost of a Bad Hire
Though most organizations experience a “bad hire” and are aware of the high price they pay for employee turnover, they often lack the ability to combat the loss. Using competencies for selection reduces the risk of a bad hire by increasing the validity of the recruitment process through well-researched, job-related behaviours, consistent standards, standardized selection criteria and selection tools for incremental validity.
Where Passion Meets Mission
Employee engagement is often the rallying cry for companies seeking to maximize productivity and retain valued talent. However, by not digging into the essence of who people are at their core and aligning the talent with the work that needs to be done, most companies are missing and mightily the talent treasure they already have.
