Identifying and Retaining Talent
“To be competitive, one must be competitive one
person at a time. You must be as good or better as the best
counterpart in your class of job in the world”
Robert Galvin, former CEO of Motorola
Since McKinsey and Company’s landmark paper that coined
the phrase, ‘The War for Talent’, many organisations
have given increased attention to evaluating, protecting and
growing their leadership bench strength.
It is common in organisations today to experience a shortage
of leadership capability at a range of levels. And they can
respond in one of three ways:
- Intensify their efforts to recruit hard-to-find and increasingly
expensive people from outside
- Do little or nothing and probably experience competitive
decline
- Tap into the quality people already in the organisation,
thus growing and keeping their own talent
The third option is, in our view, the most desirable: by
finding effective ways to identify and grow their own leadership
talent, organisations can ensure that they have the people
they need in an increasingly challenging business environment.
