In this sixth chapter of The Talent Powered Organization, the authors explain the importance of understanding and measuring how talent contributes to an organization’s performance. Once that is understood, it is clear that everyone in an organization must be involved in multiplying talent—from top leaders to HR, to line managers, to employees. Therefore, the second part of this chapter focuses on the need to:
* Maintain visible leadership that keeps the organization permanently focused on talent as its top priority.
* Clearly encourage and reward line managers for their performance in nurturing talent.
* Ensure that HR departments and training organizations are modernized and retain the capabilities to act as the expert advisors, supporters, adjudicators and enablers of discovering, developing and deploying talent in the organization.
Talent management needs to become everyone’s responsibility in every organization. While top leadership and HR involvement are essential, a talent mindset and capabilities must be embedded and sustained throughout the organization. In talent-powered organizations, everyone in the organization identifies and nurtures talent in ways that enhance performance.
