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.
