Where Will Your Key Talent be in 12-months?

If you’re like many organizations…

…your key talent is thankful to have a job– but how long will that last?
…your key talent is over-producing – but how long will that last?
…your key talent is OK with not being developed or groomed – but how long will that last?
…your key talent doesn’t have many other employment options – but how long will that last?

The challenge for us as leaders will be retaining and developing our talent while keeping expenses low. It will be engaging our best and brightest while limiting traditional rewards – compensation, promotions. It will be focusing on the basics of development – feedback, mentoring, coaching, challenging project work, autonomy, networking, recognition, etc. All those things we as leaders know we should be doing but let slip as our “real work” takes priority. If you continue to let the development of your key employees slip, where will they be in 12-months?
