Talent Force New Manifesto For The Human Side Of Business

"Finally, a book that helps you to be a better talent manager and requires you to really think! Two great former recruiters have gotten together to provide us with a thought leader's guide to human resources for the 21st century. This is an easy read...but it is not simple. I am hard-pressed to see how any thoughtful executive worrying about the talent management agenda cannot benefit from reading this book. Bravo!"-Len Schlesinger, Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, Limited Brands"How ironic that the 'soft' parts of A+ companies-culture and Q-Talent-are the most quantifiable factors in long term performance...this is a master's guide for resetting businesses toward 'great.'"-Melanie Kusin, Vice Chairman, Heidrick & Struggles"In Talent Force, Rueff and Stringer capture the very essence of what is imperative today in operating and sustaining a successful business with a human face."-Bill Bradley, former U.S. Senator"Finally, a book that goes beyond the 'People Matter' message. This is a step-by-step book that shows you how to create the pipeline to transform your recruiting efforts and consistently bring in truly great talent. The ideas in this book are fresh, compelling and pragmatic. A must-read for senior executives!"-Tom DiDonato, Chief Personnel Officer, American Eagle Outfitters"I love Rueff's and Stringer's concept of a 'talent force.' It is more than a strategy; it is a core philosophy. Organizations that follow the fresh and actionable advice for recruitment, retention, and talent management in this book will break away from the pack and build a virtuous circle of the best attracting the best."-James M. Citrin, Senior Director, Spencer Stuart, and co-author of You're in Charge, Now What? and The Five Patterns of Extraordinary Careers"Rusty Rueff's and Hank Stringer's great new book recognizes that business life is a neverending marathon, chock full of manageable challenges and opportunities if-and only if-you have the right people, training, and incentives. Talent Force is an excellent primer for anyone who wants to run their business right the first time, and a guide for those in need of course corrections. I am making it required reading for my leadership team."-Maggie Wilderotter, President and CEO, Citizens Communications CompanyYou have to face it; the only thing that really differentiates you from your competition: your people.Rueff, Rusty is the author of 'Talent Force New Manifesto For The Human Side Of Business', published 2006 under ISBN 9780131855236 and ISBN 0131855239.
