Description

'There is a war for the best managerial and professional talent', writes Michael Williams. Commercial success depends largely on attracting, motivating and retaining high performers who can drive the business forward. Companies that get it wrong soon find competitors swooping in. The War for Talent helps employers to: - spot individuals with outstanding talent or potential; - mobilise and distribute widely the vital corporate store of intellectual capital; - coach and mentor key players so as to empower them to achieve early results; - put together reward packages high-flyers expect; and - keep talented employees enthusiastic, committed and delivering. This text sets out principles and powerful self-assessment profiles so that readers can pinpoint their skills and areas of improvement.
