This book presents an uncomfortable truth: Talent decisions are always complex and always subjective. This is especially true in today's digital age, where technology systems help bolster and shape talent decisions. The perspectives and the capacity of key decision-makers to craft astute talent decisions hold the potential to transcend a company from mere mediocrity to unparalleled excellence. Drawing on examples from business, sports, movies and everyday interactions, this book emphasises the importance of understanding complexity and encourages deliberate, intentional, and informed decisions and conversations around talent. The book posits that many long-held convictions about talent may be profoundly flawed and proposes that the gateway to unleashing a team’s boundless talents resides within the thoughts and judgments of team leaders.
