The Talent Review

Making Certain Your Organization Has a Clear Picture of Who You Are and What You Want

The next major hurdle you have to tackle is the organization’s talent management process. Your manager and other leaders will come together to discuss people and determine who the high potentials are. Even if you are a fantastic performer and your boss loves you, you could well come out of this review with a “solid B player” label on your forehead instead of the high-potential designation you so keenly desire. In short, while knowing what it takes to get high-potential status and demonstrating the right behaviors every day, you must still find a way to navigate through what many have called “the black box” of the talent review process.
