I have been asked this question by Managing Directors and CEO's for over 30 years in the people development business.
The truth is that many managers have some great talent within their organisations but they are not always aware of this talent. Some managers will recruit externally because they do not see the potential of the people sitting in front of them.
I have noticed in recent years that due to high recruitment costs, managers are now more prepared to coach and nurture that talent to fit into their respective teams and get results.
At Mdina Partnership, we are now holding a conference in Malta on the subject of spotting, developing and making talent work for you.
