(More customer reviews)Talent refers to the potential in people including perhaps a special aptitude or faculty. Unfortunately, often the talent in our organizations goes unnoticed, and this can have a disastrous effect on our need for creativity and innovation, especially during a moment of reckoning - when change is necessary. Given our fair share of economic challenges, a movement known as talent management has taken hold in the United States and is now spreading throughout the world to ensure that we take advantage of all the capacity that our human organizations have to offer.
Up to now, we haven't had a resource in one place that demonstrates some of the best ways (as authors Marshall Goldsmith and Louis Carter point out) to not just evaluate but to invest in talent. The new volume Best Practices in Talent Management published by Carter's Best Practice Institute carefully outlines fourteen well-documented cases illustrating proven tools, instruments, models, and practices for implementing top talent management in your own organization. You'll find in these exemplars a number of common attributes, such as an openness to learning, integrity, employee empowerment, a thirst for collaboration, and a recognition of people's intrinsic motivation - all well-established but not often practiced elements of the innovation process embedded in managing and retaining talent. It is thus destined to become a vital resource for all managers in the applied HR field.
