This is not your typical business book. Consider this book a combination of a conversation and a handbook or a reference guide - both simple and practical so you can take immediate action. It begins with a story about an advisor and a key leader conducting a series of meetings to assess the state of the company. Through these meetings, both discover the leader's true desire for the company and what will be required to fulfill it. In all reality, it's the story of any leader. It could be your story or other key leaders within your organization. It's not a story of a company doing so terrible it's desperate for help, but rather one who is, at first look, doing well and therefore initially sees itself with little need for improvement. And that's what makes the story so important. The remainder of the book covers the rest of the 15 shifts essential to transforming your talent management. Without them, you're losing money. But don't worry, we cover the basic arithmetic needed to calculate your lost revenue from poor talent management and the level of ROI attainable if you choose to make the necessary shifts! I guarantee you, implementing any of the content in this book will positively impact your company profits. The return on investment to have this book in your hand is astonishing! I challenge you to discover that! Let me know who it goes.
