Nuggets from the book Failures in talent management may be more recognizable than the concept itself. The goal of talent management is the more general task of helping the organization achieve its overall objectives. In the business world, that objective is to make money. Helping the organization achieve its goals begins with recognizing that the most important problem facing virtually all employers is the need to respond quickly to changes in competitive environments. Peter Cappelli Director of the Center for Human Resources Wharton 14
Higher-performing organizations (HPO) are more effective at managing talent Overall, to what extent is your organization managing talent effectively? 15
What do HPOs include in talent management? 16
Nuggets from the book we do not say integrated talent management at Agilent. At least the words are not spoken aloud. And yet I absolutely know it is happening at Agilent. The three dimensions are set and align strategy, build organizational capability, and deliver results; and underneath are specific behaviors. our CEO, Bill Sullivan cares deeply about having the best talent at Agilent. There is not a business strategy where talent is not considered. Teresa Roche VP & CLO Agilent Technologies 17

Nuggets from the book Hiring the right people makes developing the right skill sets so much easier. Hiring the right person sets the foundation for every talent activity that follows. Individual opinion is terribly unpredictable, and worse, it s often wrong. Despite a great education in the science and practice of employee selection managers consistently ruined my handiwork by choosing the person they liked best sometimes despite the clear evidence that there were other equally qualified candidates with a far higher likelihood of being successful. Leslie Joyce Chief Talent Officer Novelis 19

Nuggets from the book This volatile business context accelerated the need for Hertz to implement integrated structures, thus eliminating silos not only within HR, but across the entire enterprise. Adopting new behaviors can only be encouraged, implemented, and sustained if they are properly compensated and rewarded. cutting a budget meant not doing what the business leaders asked for in the first place. Karl-Heinz Oehler VP, Global Talent Management Hertz 22

Nuggets from the book The existence of an effective performance management system is often the major differentiator between organizations that produce adequate results and those that excel. People at all organizational levels go through the motion of formulaic performance appraisals with astonishing insincerity and have little to show for it. All too often in traditional organizations, performance appraisal is something the top tells the middle to do to the bottom. Edward Lawler III Distinguished Professor of Business USC 25

Nuggets from the book In the business world, CEOs have one priority: growth. In the world of talent management, practitioners should only have one priority: their CEO s vision. Today s performance management systems must link to three imperatives in order to drive the growth our CEO s need; business integration, organizational performance, and an emphasis on return on investment. And if culture will eat strategy for lunch, then traditional performance management systems will eat innovation for lunch. Annmarie Neal Vice President Robert Kovach Director Cisco Center for Collaborative Leadership 27

Employees can expect feedback on their performance more often than once a year 8. 360 or multi-rater feedback is used to support the performance management process 9. The performance management process includes ongoing goal review and feedback from managers 28
Nuggets from the book Our goal is to have a minimum of two successors for each critical job. A few years back, I asked my compensation leader for the average bonus percentage paid to all top talent and the average bonus percentage paid to the rest of the salary exempt employees. Believe it or not, top talent was lower. During a decade when many organizations faced significant turmoil due to economic conditions that challenged sales growth, Edwards talent performed extremely well. It is talent that executes business strategies. Rob Reindl VP Human Resources Edwards LifeSciences 30
Best, Next and The Rest practices for developing those in the succession planning pipeline Next Highly correlated with highperformance, yet most companies don t do it Best Most highperformance companies do it The Rest Most companies do it, but it has little impact on performance 31
Some succession candidate identification tools have a greater impact than others Next 16% of use other types of assessment, such as psychological testing, which has a.30 correlation with success. Best 57% of use designation as high-potential talent to identify candidates to a high or very high extent, with a.23 correlation with success. Rest 76% of all respondents say their organizations use senior leader s nomination to identify candidates for succession planning to a high or very high extent, but this shows the weakest correlation with succession planning success. 32

Nuggets from the book One person desperately wants flexibility, another wants fun, and yet another craves stability. But how could we have known? We can only know, and then deliver, by asking. Why are we so willing to conduct exit interviews, but seldom take the time or summon the courage to conduct stay interviews with the people we can least afford to lose? Bev Kaye Founder and CEO Career Systems International We know of a CEO who charged $30,000 to a manager s operating budget because he needlessly allowed a talented person to leave. Now, that s what we call holding someone accountable. Sharon Jordan-Evans Founder and CEO Jordan-Evans Group 39
Attrition Metrics Tactical Finding: When comparing large organizations (10,000+ employees), there is no significant difference between higher- and lower-performers likelihood of measuring tactical retention metrics. 40
Attrition Metrics Strategic Finding: When comparing large organizations (10,000+ employees) higher-performers are more likely to measure who is leaving the organization than lower performers. 41
Nuggets from the book Unfortunately, integration isn't easy and can quickly degrade over time. The reality is that knitting talent things together is hard work because there are as many forces pulling us apart as pulling us together. The best systems providers are promoting integrated, full-suite talent management systems. The evolution is promising but the conversion process usually means someone gives up their favorite functionality for the greater (promised) good. I've never seen an organization overcome poor managerial talent management habits by imposing a sophisticated out-of-the-box software package. Kevin Wilde VP, Organizational Effectiveness & CLO General Mills 42
Integration is a challenge for all organizations 43

Nuggets from the book Talent differentiates, drives productivity, determines customer service and increases intangible shareholder value. Talent matters. Talent is too important to be left to uncoordinated events. Simply stated, competence deals with the head (being able), commitment with the hands and feet (being there), and contribution with the heart (simply being). Dave Ulrich Professor of Business University of Michigan An emerging talent formula might be: competence x commitment x contribution = talent. 46
