Tagging for Talent introduces a breakthrough approach for human resources, talent managers, senior executives and line managers to find hidden talent from within their own organisations. This unique method challenges the status quo of talent identification and succession planning with an easy crowd-sourcing approach to competency recognition.

It speaks to HR professionals, talent managers and senior leaders who are looking for simple to use, real-life solutions that can be implemented in business today. Employees already see the power of tagging and view this innovative approach as a fun way to recognising talent, versus the old method of waiting for their manager to see or perceive their strengths.
 
  For years, executives have been asking, “Why am I spending all of this time and money when I keep getting the same results?” 
 
Tagging for Talent inspires leaders to tap into the power of the crowd, along with practical guidance on how to put a peer-based tagging system in place―and take their company up a notch!

Talent Talker: 60 Conversations to Unlock Talent  and Potential      by Yolanda Lacoma & Martin Sutherland       R299.00 incl. VAT (ebook)

Become a Talent Talker
 
Great people developers take an interest in others, they recognize that they didn’t get to where they are on their own, and they want to “pay forward” the time that others have invested in them. Helping others unlock their talent and potential is an enormously rewarding activity, and it doesn’t take very much time, just the right attitude. If you look back on your own career and recognize a talent talker in your past, you owe it to them to become one yourself. If you don’t see a talent talker in your past, you need to look harder, because no one can make it on their own.
 
Getting managers to have development conversations is one of the most important drivers of unlocking talent and potential in your organisation. This book, and the TalentTalker.com application, makes it easy for any manager to sit down and have a development conversation.
 
Those conversations can be about improving performance, managing a career, developing leadership skills or formulating and executing new business strategies. Talking connects people, people who feel connected are more engaged, engaged people deliver exceptional results.
