Management Talent & Potential
The 'I can pick 'em' syndrome still prevails with many managers: the belief that they can spot talented people and put them in the right position. Whilst undoubtedly some people do have the skill of being able to spot talented people, the potential problem it raises for organisations can lead managers into troubled waters. Whilst it is fine for the 'chosen ones' – what about the rest? We know the knock-on effect on managers who 'pick 'em': others wonder on what basis did this particular person get 'picked'? What criteria was used to identify this talented person? What about other candidates who were proven performers?
Getting a little more sophisticated about identifying and managing talent need not be rocket science: but following some simple guidelines and helping managers really be clear about what 'talent' is – how to spot it, engage it and keep it, is key to sustaining a business.
