Talent Generation: How Visionary Organizations Are Redefining Work and Achieving Greater Success

Sarah Sladek is the CEO of XYZ University and a best-selling book. Her life's work has been to assist corporations in engaging future generations of talent since 2002. Sarah has written four books about generational issues, in addition to Talent Generation: Rock Stars Incorporated: Hiring the High-Performance, High-Maintenance Hotshots Half Your Age (2008); The End of Membership As We Know It (2011); and Knowing Y: Engage the Next Generation Now (2014).

There is a broad and pressing need to involve newer generations of potential. The leadership pool is shrinking, and the skills gap is widening. Workforce practices that have been in place for a long time are being questioned. People-centric and future-focused organizations will prosper in the Talent Economy. Author Sarah L. Sladek cites numerous examples of organizations that have successfully engaged employees in this era of disruption—what they did, why it worked, and how it has impacted the organizations' outlook and bottom line—drawing on documented workforce and talent-development research as well as her own ongoing study of generational impacts. She demonstrates that it is feasible to build an organization that is focused on attracting and retaining talent, and she offers advice on how to do so.

Use "Talent Generation" insight to energise talented people, engage their expertise and creativity, and fulfill your organization's purpose—whether it's to win the market, advance an industry or profession, or advance a cause.
