Organizational Talent You Need To Succeed

To build a department with the best talent you must have the right people (players) in the right jobs (positions) with the best skills (talents) who know and can execute the organizations game plan.

No organization can continue to prosper and grow without having the right people in the right jobs. Quoting Jack Welch of GE fame, “Winning is about having the best people on your team. It doesn’t help if you’re surrounded by people who are less talented than you are.” So much of leadership is about accomplishing results through others.



Signs that an organization has the talent needed to execute their business strategy:



• The organization is meeting business targets or objectives • The organization is not experiencing shortages of key talent • Talent management is a high organizational priority • Employee morale and satisfaction are good and moving to great • The organization is not experiencing problems recruiting employees • The organization is not experiencing problems retaining employees • The organization is recognized as an employer of choice To assess your “talent pool” take the above questions and honestly answer them as they pertain to those people you are directly responsible for managing.

In the long run, the companies that will be most attractive to the best talent will be those that combine sustained market success with sustained personal growth of employees… and continually assess their talent pool.
