Talent Managmnt

So what does it mean to develop a talent mind set at all the different levels of an organization? The Mckinsey Company explains that this mindset should begin with the senior management. They describe how these leaders must have a serious belief that building a strong management talent pool is critical to achieving the aspirations of the company (Michaels, 2001). This conviction of talent is what will give the competitive advantage to a company because the leaders will believe in having talent on all the levels of the company and not just the top. So how does this bring talented people in and make the fullest possible use of their abilities? A company that is building talent in such a sophisticated way will attract talented individuals, this will be due to the leaders who are creating, supporting, and innovating new ways to strengthen talent. This positive attitude will then become part of the company’s culture and talented professionals will become attracted to it. This mind set of having a positive attitude towards talent will also encourage people to work to their fullest ability. Employees in this environment will be forced to use new and existing talents to work with other talented employees and make the link with the company’s business strategy and required talents. Thus by working with this mindset, employees will always be looking to increase their abilities and utilize them towards the companies business plan.

In today’s highly competitive environment, the biggest challenge that most successful businesses face is to arrest attrition and retain talent. What is more, people’s ambitions are fast changing and concepts like loyalty do not seem relevant anymore. Tried and tested methods are fast losing their effectiveness as talented employees become immune to such formula driven approaches. Money is important but not adequate to solve the problem.

Companies are losing highly talented people, walking away with accumulated knowledge and experience that is not easily replicable.
