EFFECTIVE TALENT MANAGEMENT
The most important corporate resource over the next 20 years will be talent: smart, sophisticated business people who are technologically literate, globally astute, and operationally agile. Yet various indicators, from aging Baby Boomers to abysmal U.S. math and science scores, tell us that top talent, already scarce, will only become more so in the years to come.
Experts warned of this impending war for talent over a decade ago, and leaders of most midsized businesses in search of tomorrow’s leaders would agree it is on. Its effects will be felt most profoundly by midsized businesses looking to identify and groom the next generation of leaders. Business leaders that fail to make talent management (the acquisition, growth and retention of top talent) a strategic imperative now could find themselves—and their companies—casualties of an increasingly competitive and global business environment.
To ensure that organizations have the right leadership and/or management team in place and fully functioning when they are needed to meet the organization’s strategic initiatives, CEOs must adopt a disciplined approach to talent management. That means aggressive management of the acquisition, growth, and retention of talent through a rigorous and logical process. Rather than using “gut feel” to make hiring decisions, business leaders must begin to analyze talent opportunities as fully as they would any other business opportunity, that is, identify risks, forecast profitability and develop strategic action plans to ensure successful execution.
Talent management and planning should be closely aligned with the company’s strategic plan and business needs and consider the broadest range of potential of all employees within the firm—not just senior executives. And managers at all levels should be held accountable for the development of talent within their workgroups, with senior leaders actively participating in the process.
Proper implementation of talent management consists of four key steps:
Implementing an effective talent management process, prepares business leaders to compete in the global economy and capitalize on opportunities.
