Abstract: "More than any other factor today, talent makes the difference between your organization's success and failure. Whatever your talent challenge - recruiting young technicians from the developing world, getting more from your current employees, or retaining precious experience from an ageing workforce - you must confront new realities, apply new analytical tools and develop new capabilities." "The Talent Powered Organization provides a strategic and holistic view of talent and shows companies how to transform talent management from a supporting function to an essential competitive capability." "Drawing on a variety of case studies and practical examples, the authors explain how to free talent management from the narrow confines of HR and integrate it into your strategic goals." "Whatever your role in your organization - leader, functional executive, or line manager - The Talent Powered Organization will make you think about talent in a new way, and give you the framework and methods you need to create talent power for strategic success."--Jacket.
