Download or read book Unlock written by Margaret Graziano and published by Keenalignment. This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, the business workforce of America is experiencing a shortage of leadership talent, an issue that has been escalating due to aging Baby Boomers, for the last few decades. Other key triggers causing this talent shortage are the current global marketplace competing for talent, a weak disparate education system, the velocity and momentum of technology, and the ability for creative, innovative people to earn income from their kitchen table. If that isn't enough to disrupt the status quo; we are also dealing with the backlash of years of economic, political and institutional shake-ups. The psychological impact of decades of uncertainty and perceived corporate and Wall Street deceit, as the pay versus cost of living disparity has triggered an all-time low in U.S. employee engagement. With more and more companies needing to hire and the supply of qualified, engaged people at an all-time low, the result is a massive talent shortage of knowledgeable, committed workers who are available and interested in full-time gigs. While small and mid-sized companies have been surviving, their larger and well-resourced competitors have been building and leveraging their people (talent) strategy and are thriving. The good news is that not every key contributor, mission-critical team member and next-level leader chooses to work for larger companies and mega-organizations. In all actuality, many have grown despondent and mistrustful of the larger entities and all too often, good workers with fast growth companies look to make a change when the company they helped to build gets too big. This opens the door for solid workers, skilled in growing organizations, to move to start-ups and privately held mid-sized companies-and for those companies to capitalize on their unique strengths and perspectives. A strategic initiative for many companies is to hire not only new talent but also the right talent. Given the shifting demographics facing us, companies committed to hiring top performers in their industry must create an environment that fosters growth, development, and challenge for its people. This behavioral and corporate transformation is referred to as adopting a talent mindset. Running a company effectively now, and in the future is directly related to your ability to choose the right people for the proper roles, provide an environment for them to optimize their performance, and retain them for the right period of time. A 2017 "Gallup Poll" on U.S. Workforce Engagement tells us that 70% of the U.S. workforce is disengaged-either by the work they do or by the place in which they do it. To drive home the adverse impact of a 15 year steady decline in employee engagement; data-driven production studies show that people who are unhappy at work are not nearly as productive as they could be, and are most often the same people who are unable, unaware, or unwilling to operate as proactive and innovative contributors. Disengaged employees are less likely to go the extra mile for customers or to improve workflows, organizational systems and processes that could streamline efforts and save your company time and money. These folks are also much less likely to have a positive impact on morale. In fact, they are often the key instigators of gossip and duplicity and are perpetrators of the blame/shame game in the workplace. If you have a notion that better people practices and a stronger culture will make a difference in your company's ability to achieve your goals, then the Wealth of Talent is the book for you.

Download or read book The Talent Code written by Daniel Coyle and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it? This groundbreaking work provides readers with tools they can use to maximize potential in themselves and others. Whether you’re coaching soccer or teaching a child to play the piano, writing a novel or trying to improve your golf swing, this revolutionary book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism. Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered on journeys to nine of the world’s talent hotbeds—from the baseball fields of the Caribbean to a classical-music academy in upstate New York—Coyle identifies the three key elements that will allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, math, or just about anything. • Deep Practice Everyone knows that practice is a key to success. What everyone doesn’t know is that specific kinds of practice can increase skill up to ten times faster than conventional practice. • Ignition We all need a little motivation to get started. But what separates truly high achievers from the rest of the pack? A higher level of commitment—call it passion—born out of our deepest unconscious desires and triggered by certain primal cues. Understanding how these signals work can help you ignite passion and catalyze skill development. • Master Coaching What are the secrets of the world’s most effective teachers, trainers, and coaches? Discover the four virtues that enable these “talent whisperers” to fuel passion, inspire deep practice, and bring out the best in their students. These three elements work together within your brain to form myelin, a microscopic neural substance that adds vast amounts of speed and accuracy to your movements and thoughts. Scientists have discovered that myelin might just be the holy grail: the foundation of all forms of greatness, from Michelangelo’s to Michael Jordan’s. The good news about myelin is that it isn’t fixed at birth; to the contrary, it grows, and like anything that grows, it can be cultivated and nourished. Combining revelatory analysis with illuminating examples of regular people who have achieved greatness, this book will not only change the way you think about talent, but equip you to reach your own highest potential.

Download or read book Decoding Hidden Talents written by Nerphetz Patrick Phiri and published by Nephetz Patrick Phiri. This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has explored numerous insights into decoding talents, offering fifty key take-home points to aid readers along their journey. From the crucial aspects of harnessing fear, fostering creativity, and embracing imperfections, we have delved deep into the complexities of talent development. One important lesson to remember is that possessing a key does not automatically guarantee the ability to unlock every door. Decisions we make in life carry consequences, and their accuracy cannot always be guaranteed. Only through taking bold and new actions can we truly validate our choices. “Moreover, it is essential to recognize that success in any game, be it personal or professional, requires a combination of mental fortitude, physical well-being, and unwavering stamina. These factors are indispensable in achieving our goals and reaching our full potential.” A vital aspect to consider is the ever-evolving nature of the world and the significant changes and advancements occurring within it. Staying connected to the latest developments in social change and the media is undoubtedly a challenging task, as new information surfaces and circumstances transform with each passing day. However, embracing this challenge and continually adapting to these fluctuations is crucial for personal growth and success. While it is true that human thoughts have infinite potential, it is not within our reach to achieve everything we desire. It is essential to recognize and appreciate our level of expertise and knowledge. Maintaining a humble attitude and showing respect towards every talent, regardless of its scale or nature, is a sign of wisdom and maturity. Furthermore, developing a talent is a time-consuming process that demands dedication and effort. However, the investment made in nurturing and honing one’s abilities is nothing short of extraordinary. It is futile to compare talents, as each one is unique and should be celebrated for its individuality. In conclusion, this is a comprehensive summary of the crucial points covered throughout this book on decoding talents. With the knowledge and insights gained from these pages, readers will be equipped with the tools they need to embark on their journey of talent development with confidence and determination.

Book excerpt: Expand Your Knowledge of Organization Development to Enhance Your L&D Efforts ATD’s Organization Development Handbook is a tactical, hands-on book for those in learning and development looking to make that first step into organization development or those who are a one-person band doing both. While many books and textbooks exist on organization development—the effort to improve an organization’s capability through the alignment of strategy, structure, people, rewards, metrics, and management processes—this volume is the first of its kind to address OD from the talent development and, specifically, L&D perspective. More than ever, L&D professionals are taking on organization development work to drive organizational effectiveness and performance. Sometimes this happens out of choice when seeking a new career challenge, and other times out of necessity when the organization adds OD to their responsibilities. In either case, L&D professionals need new knowledge and skills—as well as insight into how to utilize their analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation abilities—to become successful in creating OD solutions. Edited by OD practitioner and expert Brian J. Flores, this volume includes in-house experts and consultant contributors from the OD field itself as well as those who crossed over from L&D to OD. Readers will learn how to apply the foundations of organization development to their multiculturalism, upskilling and reskilling, soft skill development, and succession planning processes and programs.
