This case study centers on the concept of talent: what it is and how to detect and manage it in a climate of ongoing improvement and learning. Hence the relevance of the coach figure. The case study also addresses the issues of values and philosophical principles, which are vital to professional success. The crucial person/persona dilemma is considered in the context of a specific family setting.
The case aims to analyze the talent/character paradigm, which is central to decision making, learning from decisions after they have been made, and managing a successful career.
