Winning The Talent War: The 8 Essentials

Demographics, globalisation, technology and the knowledge worker are impacting business growth in Asia and across the world.

Too many managers prefer paper work to people work and the short-term view rather than a longer term view, at the expense of talent and career development which leaves the business brittle and vulnerable. Winning The Talent War is full of stories and insights from company leaders that have taken a longer-term view and who truly understand that without a deep understanding of the business DNA sustained success is problematic at best and highly risky at worst.
