The Real War for Talent

January 27, 2014 by John Kenworthy Leave a Comment

The war is not to find talent; it’s to use the talent you have already. The search for talent is ongoing. Individuals seek to develop their talents, companies seek to identify talent and retain it, succession planning requires it, politicians plan for it, and the world wants to find it. But what is it?

I find the newsletter is always interesting with a variety of subject covered that are relevant to today's issues.

I’d recommend signing up to young and ambitious managers.

Trevor Sculthorpe-Pike


The newsletter summarises + clarifies and issues, for example leaders influence by inspiration, education and coercion, which I find very helpful - saves time.

I recommend this newsletter to anyone who is pressed for time and interested or concerned with leadership and management.

On many occasions that life has many opportunities and options. I had become stuck in a rut in my present job, despite doing consistently well but your advice and comments greatly assisted me in making that change.

I like that the articles are straightforward and to the point - no fluff. The information is varied and always helpful, current and up to date, never over-bearing or patronising - unlike many other mentors out there.

I would recommend your service to all. I always had embraced change in the past in my life both personally and professionally when opportunities have come along. For a while, due to personal and professional issues beyond my control; I had forgotten this but was reminded by your advice/guidance in a thoughtful and informative manner.

My sincere heartfelt thanks!

The little success stories surely help me apply leadership theories with confidence.
