Talent Management Quotes

“Given the journey that talent management is on, we do seem to need new answers to new problems, rather than another retrofit of past practices”

“If a prospective employer tells you your compensation is above their budget, it’s not your problem. Your above-average pay is a validation that you are an above-average performer. Don’t apologize for being the best talent. You have reached there with hard work and determination. Don’t undersell. Mediocre salaries will only get them mediocre talent.”

“While hiring, look for candidates who have been laid off, or who took extended paternity or maternity leave to be with their kids in their growing years. Not only will it give you an excellent hiring experience, in terms of lower joining attrition rate and shorter recruitment cycle, but it will also ensure higher retention rate. People who get laid-off are not bad people or non-performers, it is just that they didn't fit into the culture of one organization or that particular organization couldn't afford them (cost-cutting). Such people deserve to be looked differently and given another chance. People who take an extended break to take care of their infants are career oriented people with a temporary shift in their priorities, do not make it look permanent.”

“What I found most interesting about Session C was the unique window it provided the CEO into the business. It was "boundaryless" before the word came into favor as a GE company value. It was functionally agnostic and part of a more extensive system managed by the top executive with ties to the board of directors, corporate and operating executives, and various management levels. No one could claim outright ownership for it, but everyone was intimately involved.”
