Product Description

Product Description
There came a time when all organisations recognised that their employees were the only real variable in achieving long-term success...where employees were recognised for inspiring others to feats greater than the sum of their individual parts...where a unifying culture was seen as a way of holding a company together through the hard times and keeping it disciplined through the good...where the good name of an organisation rested not on clever advertising but on the small, everyday actions of all its people, working towards the same goals...where it wasn't the big ideas of management that bought success but rather their ability to communicate and motivate employees to put those ideas into action. That time was not now...But that time was coming...A series of short yet powerful modern day stories, woven into the tale of a young boy in Medieval England, are used to illustrate best practice in talent management for all leaders of people. Based on research and interviews with people experts and leaders in the public and private sector as well as household names such as Disney, BP, Oxfam, Prudential, GSK, Michael Page, Capital One and Standard Chartered, Tales of Talent is much more than just a Fairy Tale.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tales of Talent: How To Harness Your People's Talent To Achi, 20 Mar 2006
By Chris O'Brien (Lewes, East Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The power of this book is that it is a fable not a 'how-to'; the relevance of the topic is universal and enduring. Too often authors try to provide either 'quick hit' solutions or they over complicate. Tales of Talent does not fall into this trap as it provides the reader with the essential stepping stones to harnessing talent of all people within an organisation whilst at the same time revealing the essential and honest truths needed to acheive this goal. It sparks the imagination and challenges the reader to harness their own talent as well as making it a reality in their own organisation.
