It will provide readers with data-driven solution to the common problems around employee selection, development and engagement; how to define and evaluate talent; how to detect and inhibit toxic employee behaviours; and how to identify and harness leadership potential.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A clear-eyed, deeply researched account of what the science really tells us about finding, attracting and retaining talented people, while staying alert to talent's surprising dark sides--<b>Oliver Burkeman, The Guardian, and author of The Antidote</b><br><br>A deeply researched book . . .
