“We are delighted that these regulations are now law, and we commend the provincial government for helping put the issue on the front burner. These requirements will push more companies to have the conversations they should be having around board and executive committee diversity and, hopefully, their talent development. Businesses need to tap the full pool of smart, talented people to stay competitive and strengthen our country’s economic future.” PeopleNeedsShouldCountryHelpingGovernmentLawCompanyIssuesEconomicTalentFrontsDevelopmentConversationDiversitySmartOur CountryHopefullyBoardsExecutivesPoolRegulationCommitteesRequirementsDelighted Author:Alex Johnston
“To be sure, [NASCAR] stars were initially ex-bootleggers for the most part drawn from that talent pool in the Carolinas hills: "good ol' boys" as they referred to themselves. That's exactly how they would be described in the press that slowly became enamored with their raucous life style. That has all changed, with the drivers of today polished and clean-cut athletes who are expected to behave like commercial puppets in public.” Would BeTodayStarsBoysCuttingTalentStyleChangedPressesCleanAthleteExpectedHillsBehaveDriversPoolExesPuppetsCarolinaPolishedEnamoredLife StyleNascar Author:Brock Yates
“When comics came along in the 1930s there was a talent pool waiting. And one reason is so many areas were closed to Jews.

“Non-cooperative approaches, by contrast, almost always involve duplication of effort, since someone working independently must spend time and skills on problems that already have been encountered and overcome by someone else. A technical hitch, for example, is more likely to be solved quickly and imaginatively if scientists (including scientists from different countries) pool their talents rather than compete against one another.” IfsHas BeensDifferentCountryProblemEffortTalentExampleSkillsApproachScientistOvercomingIncludingPoolContrastEnd TimesSpend TimeCooperativesDifferent CountriesDuplication Author:Alfie Kohn

“Republicans also have to start to look at talent recruitment. Eight years ago Barack Obama was a no-name state senator.

“Historically, opportunity has been afforded to a limited pool of people, excluding people of color and women.

“There are two outstanding issues in democratic politics these days. One is the relationship with the media, which is now 24/7, and operates with a completely different intensity than even 15 or 20 years ago. How do we have a proper conversation between leaders and country when it's moderated sometimes in a very partisan and inflammatory way? And the second thing is the effectiveness of our democracy. How do we get the right gene and talent pool in politics?” WayYearsTwoDifferentCountrySometimesLeaderDemocracyIssuesTalentMediaConversationYears AgoDemocraticThese DaysIntensityPoolGenesEffectivenessOutstandingPartisans Author:Tony Blair

“We have to acknowledge that we can't look to manufacturing or natural resources to drive growth like we have in the past. Human capital, talent, and knowledge are our most important resources now.

They have great universities, clusters of innovation across a range of industries, and pools of innovative and creative talent to build on.” ImportantPastOpportunityWaitingGrowthNaturalCreativeTalentInnovationMy FavoriteAcknowledgePoolInnovativeNatural Resources Author:Richard Florida
