In 1997, a groundbreaking McKinsey study exposed the "war fortalent" as a strategic business challenge and a critical driver ofcorporate performance. Then, when the dot-com bubble burst and theeconomy cooled, many assumed the war for talent was over. It'snot.
Now the authors of the original study reveal that, because ofenduring economic and social forces, the war for talent willpersist for the next two decades.
McKinsey & Company consultants Ed Michaels, HelenHandfield-Jones, and Beth Axelrod argue that winning the war forleadership talent is about much more than frenzied recruitingtactics. It's about the timeless principles of attracting,developing, and retaining highly talented managers-applied in boldnew ways. And it's about recognizing the strategic importance ofhuman capital because of the enormous value that better talentcreates.
Fortified by five years of in-depth research on how companiesmanage leadership talent-including surveys of 13,000 executives atmore than 120 companies and case studies of 27 leadingcompanies-the authors propose a fundamentally new approach totalent management.
They describe how to:
* Create a winning EVP (employee value proposition) that willmake your company uniquely attractive to talent
* Move beyond recruiting hype to build a long-term recruitingstrategy
* Use job experiences, coaching, and mentoring to cultivate thepotential in managers
* Strengthen your talent pool by investing in A players,developing B players, and acting decisively on C players
Central to this approach is a pervasive talent mindset-a deepconviction shared by leaders throughout the company thatcompetitive advantage comes from having better talent at alllevels.
Using practical examples from companies such as GE, The HomeDepot, PerkinElmer, Amgen, and Enron, the authors outline fiveimperatives that every leader-from CEO to unit manager-must act onto build a stronger talent pool.
Written by recognized authorities on the topic, this is thedefinitive strategic guide on how to win the war for talent.
