TalentIs as much about keeping people in their ‘zone’ as it is about retaining them.

TalentSo how are you measuring* that?
*Remember Management 101? You cannot manage that which you do not measure…

TalentWe are still waiting for two people to score the same.

Talent(…whether it is the CEO or the janitor*we are looking at…)*Not just being clever. Send the CEO and the janitor on a week’s holiday, then check whose absence impacts your brand soonest…Which is fine, because if you are the CEO, you should be working on a 25+ year horizon anyway. But the janitor counts.

TalentYou can neutralise talent. (Remember that?)

TalentAll it takes is a little stress.

Talent(Really. Stress. You believed all that stuff about stress* being good for you?)*Challenge is good for you. Stress poisons your system and your behaviour. But that is another story.

TalentAnd no, we haven’t seen any two people the same on these measures either.

TalentBut don’t worry - we can turn that into a simple narrative for each individual.

TalentAnd here’s the point. (Whew!)
