Talent Management
Abstract
Behind every successful organization stands not just a strategy, but the people capable of executing it exceptionally well. This paper explores the concept of talent management, focusing on the critical role of managers in identifying, developing, and retaining high-potential employees.
Rather than treating talent management as a formal system of programs and procedures, the study emphasizes the importance of everyday interactions between managers and employees. It argues that the success or failure in managing talent often depends on the quality of these relationships and the ability to meet mutual expectations.
The analysis highlights key challenges such as talent identification, retention, and development, while also presenting practical approaches including internal talent cultivation and strategic workforce planning. The findings underline that effective talent management is a long-term investment requiring continuous support, inspiration, and opportunities for growth.
