Cappelli, PeterBook Chapter HBS-7579BC-ELeadership and People ManagementTo get a clear sense of contemporary talent management challenges and ways to handle them, it helps to take a long-term view.

Talent Management for the Twenty-First Century
Cappelli, PeterArticle HBS-R0803E-ELeadership and People ManagementMost firms have no formal programs for anticipating and fulfilling talent needs, relying on an increasingly expensive pool of outside candidates that has been shrinking since it was created from the white-collar layoffs of the 1980s.

Internal development was the norm back in the 1950s, and every management-...Starting at €8.20
