There seems to be a new trend in business books, titles written by lucrative CEO’s and Managers who realize that their success is not based upon their great product, their wonderful organization skills, or their golden management style but based upon finding the right team of people for the job at hand.
Talent Force takes a deeper look at what makes that right team. Groups of employees can’t simply be made to fit a specific one size fits all mold. Each company, each circumstance, and each set of problems requires a different set of talents to make the venture successful.
Talent Force does not give step by step directions on how to collect and mesh together the right individuals. Instead, this book gives a lot of examples (historical, modern, global economies, large corporations, and smaller business) of good and bad use of employee talent. These examples and the discussion that is included with each of these situations starts the reader thinking about the obvious benefits of creating a talent force. From here, the reader begins to come up with an individualized plan based upon these concepts.
