Talent Wins: The New Playbook for Putting People First

Radical Advice for Reinventing Talent-and HR Typical talent-planning and HR processes are designed for predictable environments, traditional ways of getting work done, and organizations where 'lines and boxes' still define how people are managed. As work and organizations have become more fluid-and business strategy is no longer about planning years ahead but about sensing and seizing new opportunities and adapting to a constantly changing environment-companies must deploy talent in new ways to remain competitive. Turning conventional views on their heads, talent and leadership experts Ram Charan, Dominic Barton, and Dennis Carey provide leaders with a new and different playbook for acquiring, managing, and deploying talent-for today's agile, digital, analytical, technologically driven strategic environment-and for creating the HR function that business needs. Filled with examples of forward-thinking companies that have adopted radical new approaches to talent (such as ADP, Amgen, BlackRock, Blackstone, Haier, ING, Marsh, Tata Communications, Telenor, and Volvo), as well as the juggernauts and the startups of Silicon Valley, this book shows leaders how to bring the rigor that they apply to financial capital to their human capital-elevating HR to the same level as finance in their organizations.

Talent, Strategy, Risk: How Investors and Boards Are Redefining TSR

A playbook for long-term value creation Balancing the short term and the long term is a perennial struggle, but new developments put boards squarely at the center of this dilemma and in need of guidance. Much of the $14 trillion of assets that firms like Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street manage is now held in index funds, creating a huge class of permanent institutional investors. These so-called passive investors (unlike activist investors, passive investors don't have power to exit the fund) own almost 60 percent of the Fortune 500-and they have found their voice. Perhaps best exemplified by BlackRock's Larry Fink, these investors are stating in no uncertain terms that simply managing for short-term shareholder profit is not acceptable. In this agenda-setting book, three leaders who have been on the front lines of these changes with boards, management teams, and the investment community challenge leaders to rethink TSR (total shareholder return). Since TSR cannot keep the short and long term in balance, McNabb, Charan, and Carey argue that boards should focus on a different kind of TSR-talent, strategy, and risk-because decisions and actions around these factors, more than any others, determine whether or not a company creates long-term value.

Go Long: Why Long-Term Thinking is Your Best Short-Term Strategy

In Go Long, authors Dennis Carey, Brian Dumaine, Michael Useem, and Rodney Zemmel take you behind-the-scenes to witness the business decisions that are enabling leading organizations to outsmart and outlast the competition. - Why did CEO Larry Merlo allow CVS to take a 2 billion dollar hit-on purpose? - How did CEO Alan Mulally maneuver Ford's 48 billion dollar turnaround? - How did director Maggie Wilderotter and her fellow board members engage top management to embark on an unusual exercise to help Hewlett Packard Enterprise build a long-term strategy? - Why did CEO Paul Polman's turn back to Unilever's original mission of leading with a purpose to fuel profits? - How did CEO Ivan Seidenberg convince his investors and board to allow him to make a 150 billion dollar bet? - How did CEO George Buckley find a way to address investor calls for 3M to spend less on research and development while still finding a way to innovate? These leaders argue that a short-term mindset might satisfy investors for this quarter or next, but there's a heavy price to be paid. Instead, they argue, long-term thinking is your best short-term strategy.
