It is your management skills that make talents applicable in and loyal to your company. If you can buy talents, your competitors can do so. The definition of talents is relative and dynamic. The only absolute talent is the talent to discover, recognize, manage and develop talents. Real talents would hate to get involved in office politics and would easily be isolated in an office of complicated political environment.
Talents tend to think and behave differently.
They pursue continuous improvement, They are creative, easily frustrated and are usually envied by the common people usually because of the distinguishable position and the resources deployable. Talent should not be defined by qualification or experience. You must define it by yourself. Such definition of talent greatly depends on your management and organization skills. Due to companies' weakness in talents definition and management, there are usually a significant number of unrecognized talents in the job market.
