Book description
In this new book, Jacqueline Davies and Jeremy Kourdi argue that
organizations are failing to realize the simple truth about talent: they
are misunderstanding their people, making flawed choices and allowing
the true potential of their workforce to go unused and unfulfilled.
Understanding the truth about talent in all its forms is a vital step in
developing an organization and ensuring long-term, sustainable success.
A core part of their thesis is that organizations should recognize
that people at different stages of their career and with different
experiences and aspirations need to developed and engaged in different
ways. The book provides a practical guide explaining how to segment
the workforce, why, what to expect when you do, and how to ensure that
this approach succeeds.
