Talent Wins: The New Playbook for Putting People First

Most companies run strategy and finance from the top and leave people decisions to a support function, and Talent Wins argues that the order should be reversed. Ram Charan, writing with Dennis Carey and Dominic Barton, describes how senior leadership can take direct responsibility for hiring, development, succession and the deployment of critical people, drawing on organisations that restructured around talent. The recommendations reach into board composition, the standing of the chief human resources officer, and the link between workforce planning and strategy. What comes with this edition: • A leadership playbook that places people at the centre of strategy • Guidance on succession planning and internal talent pipelines • A rethought role for HR alongside the chief executive and CFO • Corporate examples showing the approach applied in practice Written for executives, board members, HR leaders and management students, the English edition is available from Boipoka.
