Synopsis

“A To Z And Back Again: Part 1 Adventures and Misadventures in Talent World”

There is talent management as a strategy - in theory. But as the boxer Mike Tyson observed: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”. There is also talent management in practice; the nuts and bolts of implementation

Andrew Munro and Masoud Golshani-Shirazi bring together decades of practical wisdom based on working across a range of organisations in different sectors, countries and cultures, as well as drawing on a wealth of operational as well as consulting experience.

This is not a typical business book. There is no one-size-fits-all formula. Neither is this the hype of the new thing in talent management extended over 200 repetitive pages. Instead it provides a set of practical insights and ideas from business case studies, research findings and consulting assignments. The book is less about “in theory it should work” and more “in practice what does and doesn’t work”, and how talent management practitioners can have greater business impact.

In 52 “chunks”, the book covers everything from: assessment and predictive validity, why kindness matters, the difference between leadership and leader-ing, next steps for diversity and inclusion, why Big Data is often ugly, how personality testing lost its way, why sincerity is more important than authenticity, the values of corporate values, to succession and why sex can’t be ignored in talent management, and more.
