Talent Management is in danger of becoming a content-free notion unless we can bring scientific talent measurement to bear. Our take is that Talent can be measured, managed and even mapped.
13. Talent
(…whether it is the CEO
or the janitor*we are
looking at…)
*Not just being clever. Send the CEO and
the janitor on a week’s holiday, then
check whose absence impacts your brand
soonest…
Which is fine, because if you are the CEO,
you should be working on a 25+ year
horizon anyway. But the janitor counts.
17. Talent
(Really. Stress.
You believed all
that stuff about
stress* being
good for you?)
*Challenge is good for you. Stress
poisons your system and your
behaviour. But that is another story.
