Talent is a Team Sport<\/h1>\n

Post pandemic workplace issues further demonstrate why I wrote Talent is a Team Sport. Each year the complexity of effectively recruiting, retaining and motivating teams increases. Therefore approaching talent differently and collaboratively is required for success. <\/p>\n

Talent and workplace challenges today are complex and require the collaboration and communication of the entire C-suite to solve them together. These issues are not HR\u2019s alone to solve. In 2021 those facts are more clear than ever and the principles and insights I reveal in Talent is a Team Sport remain valid and applicable. <\/p>\n

Leading and managing successful teams is not a set it and forget it action. When leaders from varied domains \u201csurround\u201d business challenges and apply their perspective about your strongest asset, your people, results accelerate.

Talent is a Team Sport<\/h1>\n

In \u200bTalent is a Team Sport I want to bridge the gap and present solutions and emerging best practices that enable you to have the personnel to serve clients now, fill your pipeline for long-range plans and help give you a competitive edge in your market.<\/p>\n

This will take the involvement and effort from of all the C-suite branches. It will take a nimble approach, an open mind, and a reality check, because companies are not in as much control as they believe.

Overview<\/h2>\n

Experienced leaders are in uncharted territory with high demand, low levels of ideal talent, increasing customer demands and employee expectations. This perfect storm puts companies at risk of losing their top talent, and not having the right employees to be future ready.

Introduction<\/h2>\n

It is time to work together.<\/p>\n

The recruitment and retention practices that brought you to this point cannot take you where you need and want to go. Maintaining a competitive edge in your market will require skills, innovation, and a culture that support long-range growth. Finding and keeping the people that fuel success is a concern and top priority for many companies. Yet some still don\u2019t understand why they are missing out on great candidates or why they are losing strong employees.<\/p>\n

Companies are hiring, and the best employees are in demand. Outdated HR approaches and attitudes will not land them. A shift occurred with customers when they discovered their voice and a powerful ally: social media. Employees have found their power. They ask, \u201cwhy not?\u201d They want and expect more from employers. Unfortunately for companies, those expectations are fluid, expanding, and publicly shared.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/grazianoassoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hero-medium-cover-background-2of5.jpg” title_text=”Talent is a team sport book cover background 2 of 5″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|50%|50%|50%|50%” border_width_top=”15px” border_color_top=”#4098cb” border_width_right=”15px” border_color_right=”#4098CB” locked=”off”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” top_divider_style=”wave2″ top_divider_color=”#f6f6f6″ top_divider_height=”60px” top_divider_repeat=”0.5x” bottom_divider_style=”wave2″ bottom_divider_color=”#ffffff” bottom_divider_height=”60px” bottom_divider_repeat=”0.5x”][et_pb_nextend_smart_slider_3_fullwidth slider=”10″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_nextend_smart_slider_3_fullwidth][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” module_id=”chapter” module_class=”ds-section” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”3%||3%||true|false” top_divider_height=”60px” top_divider_repeat=”0.5x” bottom_divider_height=”60px” bottom_divider_repeat=”0.5x” bottom_divider_flip=”vertical” disabled=”on” locked=”off”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1400px” custom_margin=”|auto||auto|false|false”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/grazianoassoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hero-medium-cover-background-3of5.jpg” title_text=”Talent is a team sport book cover background 3 of 5″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|50%|50%|50%|50%” border_width_top=”15px” border_color_top=”#4098cb” border_width_right=”15px” border_color_right=”#4098CB” locked=”off”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|7%||7%|false|true” border_width_left=”1px” border_color_left=”#4098CB” border_width_left_tablet=”0px” border_width_left_phone=”” border_width_left_last_edited=”on|tablet”][et_pb_text module_class=”primary-link-bookstyle” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#4098CB” header_2_font=”|800|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#4098CB” header_2_font_size=”48px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” module_alignment=”right” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”35px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n
