Tomorrow's Talent Networks - The Big Shift - HarvardBusiness.org

Even these questions indicate a dated view of where talent is and how to get the most out of it. Sure, no one disputes the importance of talent, even in a recession. But, as a Deloitte report contends (.pdf link), companies spend entirely too much time focused on attracting and retaining talent. Moreover, as they do, they often lose sight of what appeals to and keeps hold of talent in the first place. (See John's perspectives on the report and on the mindsets that limit firms.)

Talented workers join companies and stay there because they believe they'll learn faster and better than they would at other employers.
Talented workers develop instead by:

- Trying new things.

- Experimenting with what they do in their jobs and how they do it.

- Tackling real problems with talented people who have different backgrounds and skills.

- Participating in talent networks, the largely invisible matrix structures that run within firms and, with increasing frequency, between and across them.
