Abstract
Effective Talent Management is a matter of survival in today’s hyper competitive
world. Organizations compete by differentiating their products and services, from
other organizations; and the approach to managing talent cannot be any different.
This article explores why talent has come to be a strategic differentiator and how
leading organizations have adopted a differentiated approach to attracting,
developing and retaining talent.
The article delves into the interrelationship between talent management, leadership
ability and emotional maturity and ends with a case study of how a leading
multinational company has honed its differentiated approach to managing talent in
a fiercely competitive business environment.
