Yesterday I posted on Tom Peters list of how to attract talent to your organization from his book Re-Imagine!: Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age. But how do you identify talent? Peters covers that as well. He argues that a “true exemplar of talent:
- Displays passion.
- Inspires others.
- Loves pressure.
- Craves action.
- Knows how to finish the job.
- Thrives on WOW.
- Exhibits curiosity.
- Embodies “weird.”
- Exudes a sense of fun.
- Thinks at a high level.
- “Gets” talent.
