Talent is best defined as gifted and high quality employees with the natural ability to excel at a duty or action. As positive differentiators, talent ranges from 3% to 15% in the vast majority of companies, regardless of size. The momentum of organic growth, reemergence of the IPO, creation of new products, push on completing acquisitions, attractiveness and availability of inexpensive money, and expansion of international markets have all contributed to the increasing need for talent. So why will talent leave? One reason is not being challenged; therefore feeling undervalued or appreciated. Talent is passionate about making a difference and if not challenged and empowered, will be encouraged to take their passion elsewhere. Talent is wired to improve and add value. They are built to change and innovate. Talent has good ideas, insights, and observations. If you don't listen to them, someone else will. Another reason is lack of respect for leadership. Talent wants to contribute and leadership needs to give them a voice and increase their responsibilities. Leaders don't take credit, they give it. Failure to inspire and recognize talent is another way of asking them to leave. Businesses do not fail, leadership fails. Success is most often based on strong leadership and the ability to attract, manage, motivate and retain the talent needed to move the business forward. To retain talent, leadership needs to challenge, engage, and value these key employees. Talent needs to be rewarded emotionally, intellectually & financially. Empowering leadership and stimulated talent breeds success.

The CEO of a privately-held manufacturer was referred to Bohan & Bradstreet (B&B) as a resource for talent. The CEO had been splitting his time between supporting business development and leading daily operations. Due to organic growth, there were challenges and opportunities for improvement that the CEO did not have the time to implement change, develop personnel, and lead continuous improvement.
The CEO and B&B had an informative and open conversation on the culture, business evolution over last three years, customer base, engineering and product development capabilities, supply chain and manufacturing operations, current organization structure, and opportunities for improvement. This led to the creation and definition of a VP Operations role which B&B was retained to fill confidentially. The CEO wanted a solution within 60 days, if possible.
B&B developed a discrete marketing program that targeted qualified talent that lived within a 25 mile radius of the client. B&B researched, interviewed, and evaluated talent and presented a slate of four candidates. The first candidate interviewed met all the criteria of both hard and soft skills. The CEO felt that the first candidate was a bull’s-eye, stopped interviewing, and extended an offer that was accepted. The entire process from signed search agreement to the new VP Operations starting was 31 days.
