Talent Leadership: A Proven Method for Assessing and Developing High-Potential Employees is written for leaders, HR, talent management, OD/MD professionals, and the vast population of operating managers who are charged with identifying, managing and developing high-potential and emerging leaders. Talent Leadership is a research- and empirically based book that uses my Stealth Fighter Model as the foundation for explaining the predictive relationships that exist between an organization’s leadership assessment and development practices and their achieving ultimate operating success.
As you read this book, you will learn about organizations that excel in:
- Using assessments to benchmark current and future executive talent.
- Leveraging accurate assessment data in the form of targeted development through the use of coaching and other means.
- Understanding the difference between performance and potential, accurately differentiating talent on both, and achieving significantly greater operating results as measured by EBITDA, net profit, and other critical operating metrics.
This book contains the best of what I have learned in my 30 years as a human capital and leadership consultant, executive coach, and industrial psychologist. I have included a number of best practices, case study examples, authoritative research, practical assessments, as well as a variety of practical tools and models to equip you, the reader, with the knowledge, skills, and passion to become superior HR leaders who are acknowledged and respected by their operating peers as critical drivers of operating excellence.
