Leading Your Workforce in Uncertain Times – Talent Deployment in a Tour of Duty World
As competitive advantages last for shorter and shorter periods of time, and the pace of change accelerates, we are now in what Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn has called a ‘tour of duty’ talent environment. Talented employees are increasingly demanding to continuously learn, build their skills and increase their value, rather than focusing on moving up a corporate career ladder. This shift calls for radically different assumptions about how you manage talent, how you motivate and incent people and how you even think about ‘human resources.’ McGrath will draw upon her research into the new strategy playbook to offer a window in how assumptions about workforce deployment and talent management are changing and what leaders need to be doing today.
