Leadership, Intangibles and Talent Review Q2 2009

Welcome to 2009’s second quarter roundup of all that’s going on in the fields of talent management, innovation and leadership. Articles are included from the likes of the American Society for Training & Development, Aviva, Deloitte, Institute of Employment Studies, Professor David Guest, Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt.

Summary for Q2 2009

Reading through this quarter’s articles, there were plenty of pieces rehashing practical tips on how to deal with the recession. However, there are a number of interesting ideas and themes lurking beneath the surface.

  • Intangibles such as engagement, networking and collaboration are hot topics but managing these issues is easier said than done
  • New technologies have the potential to revolutionise the way we understand organisational behaviour, although the appetite for this information is as yet unclear
  • Line managers can play a pivotal role in developing engaged employees and this has implications for how organisations approach talent management
  • Firms are waking up to the importance of engagement, in these recessionary times, once costs have been stripped out, the need to do more with less is paramount
  • Knowledge is key to value creation but how we educate and train for working with this often intangible and unpredictable environment is unknown

Comments and feedback are of course welcome.
