Survey after survey confirms how the success of businesses has become
increasingly dependent on the ability and skills of their staff. And
because talented workers are in short supply the hunt for people of
unusual ability will continue in earnest. Hiring such people is the
relatively easy part; keeping them engaged so that they don't move on
and getting the best out of them while they are with you is what really
matters.
Drawing on original research, including interviews with senior
executives, recruitment specialists and headhunters, and people
considered 'talented' within their organisations, this book outlines the
way in which companies such as Ford, Goldman Sachs, Cisco, Diageo,
Tesco, General Electric and HSBC are facing the challenge of recruiting
and developing the talent they need. This book will also boost readers'
own career prospects with practical ideas on how to change their
organisation's perception of their potential.
