Winning with talent: The CEO's playbook for value creation
Create your G3: CEO + CFO + CHRO
The root causes of performance challenges are often people issues. Meet regularly as a group of three to get new insights faster.
Cultivate the critical 2%
A small number of people create exponential value. Get to know them. They aren’t always the CEO’s direct reports.
Focus the board on talent
Boards want talent to be as much of a priority as strategy. Bring the CHRO into the room to broaden the discussion.
Develop talent through projects
Companies that reallocate talent regularly outperform. Create an internal talent market to help people move freely to projects where they’ll add the most value.
Make people decisions based on data
HR analytics can be richer and more accurate than your instincts. Use data to make smarter decisions about people.
Treat HR as a strategic partner
Help HR business partners become Talent Value Leaders by giving them direct exposure to performance challenges through job rotations in the business.
Give employees the skills they need
Many of the jobs Gen Z will perform do not exist today. Identify the skills and capabilities your organization will need, and shift from job-specific training to reskilling.
Acquire the team
Most companies are facing talent shortages. Source talent through acquisitions, looking across industries to find new skills.
