The TALENT in YOU!

on Monday, November 29, 2010

This is a "hibernation" week for me, spending most of my time at home(office) doing research and development related to talent management. Feeling so great.....lols! It has been my greatest interest and excitement to see how my customers are able to transform their ordinary employees into extra-ordinary performers through proper coaching, training and strategies. I like to explore many concepts in managing talent so that I can help some organization to increase their productivity and results.

Who can consider as "talent" in an organization? Sometimes recruiters thought that someone is talented and decided to take him in, then later found out that his skills, experience and knowledge doesnt match with the organization. That is why we always say "the right fit" is important. It lies on the "needs" and "requirements" of an organization rather than feeling right with the interviewee.

In general, there are 4 types of talent:-
1. Type "-" , such talent have a wide range of knowledge, however he does not have creativity, no in-deepth studies about a subject matter, unable to produce new results.

2. Type"I", such talent is an expert in one particuar subject matter, however his knowledge is just limited to such area, unable to associate his knowledge with other knowledge, very narrow into his own world.

3. Type "T", such talent not only have a wide range of knowledge, he is also an expert in one particular subject matter, however he does not have the courage to breakthrough or take risks to achieve results.

4. Type "+", such talent have wide range of knowledge, an expert in his subject matter, and have the courage to take risk, proactive, creative and able to breakthrough.
Which one describe you? :)
Make a plan for yourself to move from "-" to "+" and score flying colours for your career and life!
