What are your beliefs about a talent management focus?

Kim Scott (Author & Co-Founder, Candor Inc)


Kim Scott talks about the importance of understanding the life cycle of employee focus on career growth. She explains that managers need to understand the concept that employee ambition and career focus will change based on age, and what is happening in their personal lives. According to Scott, for stability, it is good to have a mix of people who are on a steep growth projection and those who are doing a great job but are less focused on getting to the next level in their career.
