This is an interesting study into the definition of "talent" and the ways that organisations have started to transform the ways they attract, hire, engage, retain, develop and exit employees.
I call it a study because the author has taken lots of source material and put it together in this book to build a case around these components and show examples ; rather than a book containing the author's own ideas or hypothesis.
This makes it a useful book for either existing HR practitioners who are looking for a source of lots of material to make a case to their CEO ; or for existing senior Managers and business owners who don't really understand talent/engagement/retention and would like a nice introduction to why it matters and what good Companies are doing. It also means the book will, unfortunately, date rather quickly, so I suggest getting your hands on it this year :)

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
