Unlimited Talent Nancy L Okeefe

We have an employment crisis looming on the horizon. Many industries are already feeling it.-Baby Boomers are exiting the workforce taking 50 years of achievement based, workforce stability that have built companies with them.-Millennial's already make up over 50% of the workforce and have very different ideas about work.-The concept of the job is changing and management methods are not keeping pace.-And we navigate this massive change in our workforce with Employee Engagement still at an alarmingly low 30% despite years of effort to improve it. Current business thinking around employees and management stem from theories created as much as 100 years ago around the Industrial Revolution for mass production, manufacturing-based businesses. They keep us stuck in thinking that no longer serves organizations or their employees. Holding on to these paradigms perpetuates a disengaged, unproductive and dissatisfied workforce. Companies are spending huge sums of money to solve this pervasive talent problem and to date, they have been unsuccessful. This book takes a disruptive look at the talent problem, why it exists and offers ideas and solutions that companies can use to become the high-performance companies where great employees want to work.
