, TOPIC 1 – MAIN CONCEPTS OF TALENT MANAGEMENT
ARTICLE 1 - A multidisciplinary review into the definition,
operationalization, and measurement of talent by Nijs et al.
- Different opinions on talent scarcity
- Not all talents are equally valuable to an organization
Assumption: Organizations, regardless of strategic direction, implement talent-identification
with the main goal of detecting individuals that are capable of taking on senior jobs with
broad responsibilities and considered future leaders
Advice: Carefully assess which specific talent domains are most valuable for the
organization given their strategic direction before implementing specific talent-identification
tools and procedures
- All employees, not only those in high positions, can be a guarantee for long-term
success
- Skills and knowledge of employees are trainable
Advice: Do not only differentiate between talented and less talented people but also
differentiate within the group of talented people based on received amount of practice
Assessment: Talent requires striking a balance between organizational responsibility and
self-responsibility
Organizational responsibility = detecting relevant areas of human functioning and providing
employees with opportunities for systematic development
Self-responsibility = articulating invisible motivations and interest areas
Concerns regarding workforce differentiation
1. Negative impact of unequal treatment (motivation and performance of less talented
employees)
2. The exclusive interpretation of talent clashes with their culture
Advice: Combine different measurement approaches as all of them have their own benefits
and limitations
Benefits of standardized measures
1. Extensively validated
2. Easy to use
3. Can be applied to a large number of people
Limitations of standardized measures
1. Not possible to capture the complex nature of motivations and interests
Advice: Use multisource assessments to reduce bias
Advice: Incorporate self-assessment tools, these help shed a light on motivation and
interests areas
