-Book Combines Big-Picture, Proven Talent Strategies with
Step-by-Step Instruction to Fuel Long-Term Business Success-
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Written for CEOs, CHROs and leaders across global organizations, the
newly released Talent
Manifesto: How Disrupting People Strategies Maximizes Business Results
(McGraw Hill) provides a comprehensive guide to redesigning talent
strategies that will transform into organizational success.
In Talent Manifesto, Korn Ferry Vice Chairman RJ Heckman
incorporates best practices, research and lessons-learned from thousands
of global companies to illustrate how to achieve optimum organizational
performance through talent.
In Talent Manifesto, Heckman shows how the highest-performing
companies are able to dance “The Talent Waltz”:
-
Defining with laser-like precision what type of talent is required to
create and then execute a winning business strategy -
Managing talent with data analytics that predict and explain a wide
range of business outcomes, including financial performance relative
to competitors. -
Creating talent processes that are simple, fast and maybe even fun for
stakeholders
Using the principles in The Talent Waltz, Heckman further shows in
detail how to maximize business performance through the disruption of
talent practices, including:
-
Changing hiring methods, including using artificial intelligence, to
help source candidates and offering data-driven assessment methods
that are proven to identify candidates who will perform well and who
will fit into a company culture -
Identifying engagement drivers at the individual level, specifically
for those in the most pivotal roles -
Changing reward practices so that they go from spreading tiny
increases equally among all to bringing a much sharper focus on
incenting people who make the biggest difference in corporate victories
The book shows how the pathways between these (and other) interconnected
talent practices must be paved by an unwavering focus on strategy, data,
speed and simplicity.
