Comment on Go ahead and measure the talent you’ve got! by Tushar Walwadikar

Hi,

Interesting title that! The first thought that strikes my mind here is the larger question of what do we define as talent. Is there a process to draw the boundaries of what we can categorise as talent. What influences the development of talent or its decline and whether ensuring a favorable climate to develop talent is sufficient enough to guarantee talent development in an individual or an organisation. Or do we roll back to the forlorn theories of how adversity brings out the best out of an individual. Worth a ponder, don’t you think?

P.S: Will definitely try to get my hands on your book and post comments. Thanks for reading!

I just wrote a book on this topic of “TALENT”. Titled: “You don’t need Talent to Succeed, but Everything else Counts”. Would love to hear back from you.

Hi,
The answer to your question lies in the talent review process adopted in the organisation. The idea is to create checkpoints in the system that identify trends of downfall in the piepline or stagnancy. This points at inability of the subordinates or a case of talent blockage. By comparing the performance records of such subordinates, it is easy to identify potential talent blockers. Beware that talent blockers often are not aware of this tendency to block talent themselves and completely rationalise their actions. It is the prime responsibility of the senior management to elucidate the benefits of talent acceleration and the bad side of blockage to arrest this tendency.

You can write to me at tusharwalwadikar@gmail.com for futher discussion on the subject.

Thanks for visiting the blog.

I agree that Talent is innate but why do most people fail to discover their talents and more importantly why do they not follow their dreams and work in areas related to their talent?

I had come across something which used regretted attrition coupled with exit interview responses as a tool to identify impact on organizational performance. Also attrition can be used to calculate the impact of loss in terms of revenue generated by that employee and also the costs involved in replacement and on boarding. And for employees who are suffering such instances of blockage, employee engagement is a common way of measurement. However not much research exists on establishing statistical relationship between business performance and talent blockage and acceleration. If you find something, do let me know.

Nice…

Have there been studies linking the data on talent accelerators (or blockers) to the organizations growth or performance, or even employee satisfaction level?

Also, what i think is that, any metric on talent accelerators/blocker is a direct reflection on the maturity of the organization. I think it is the organization that breeds these varieties based on what is demands of its people. What say?

I have prepared a comprehensive document that defines the various metrics that point at identifying talent blockers and accelerators using the information gathered during talent reviews. Will share with you when we meet. If you are working on this in your current project, lemme know… Maybe I could help you out with some stuff.

Are there any standard tools that can be administered to identify the talent blockers?

Once identified, I am sure some sort of training program can be designed to try and correct such behavior. Or the talent blockers can be even weeded out if necessary..

Nice one though
