Win the talent wars! The groundbreaking research that informs this new book by leadership expert and bestselling author Mark Miller will help leaders hire, retain and nurture the kind of top talent that will make their businesses thrive.
There is a long-standing truth in the world of organizations: those with the most talented people have the greatest chance of winning. But based on extensive research Mark Miller conducted with Aon, one of the world's largest and most respected human resource consulting practices, he discovered that what keeps and attracts top talent is different than what attracts and keeps typical talent. In Talent Magnet, Miller uses a business fable about Blake Brown, a CEO struggling with winning the war for talent, and his 16 year old son who is trying to help a village in Africa secure clean water, to reveal what top talent really want:
A Better Boss
A Brighter Future
A Bigger Story
This book pulls back the curtain on what leaders can do to attract the very best talent--a strategic need virtually every leader faces
