Creating a Talent Management Philosophy
A company’s approach to managing talent is defined by five elements:
1 Performance:
What are the consequences of higher or lower employee performance?
2 Behaviors:
How much do behaviors matter and at what threshold do we start to care?
3
Differentiation:
How should we allocate our company’s resources and rewards across varying levels of performance and potential?
Transparency:
How open should we be, and with whom, about our talent processes and their outcomes?
4
Accountability:
To what extent should managers be responsible for the execution of talent building processes?

Creating a Talent Management
Philosophy
Get senior team input and consensus.
Present the data to the team and facilitate them to agreement on each talent
philosophy area. It’s not critical to have perfect alignment, as long as each executive
agrees to manage his or her group consistent with the team’s decisions.
Conduct a reality check.
It’s easy to give socially desirable responses when asked talent philosophy questions, so
it’s important to confront executives with the philosophy’s real-world implications.
Build HR processes and communicate to employees.
Once you’ve agreed on the rules, modify your HR processes to enable them. Talent
review, succession, development and compensation processes all likely require
adjustments to consistently support your new philosophy.

Three Questions Your Board is
Asking Itself About Talent
Are we spending enough time on talent matters?
Is management working toward the right talent outcomes
and metrics?
Do our current committee agendas allow us to focus on the
most important talent issues? For example, does the audit
committee cover talent risks? Does the compensation
committee use both talent metrics and financial metrics to
assess the health of the business and accomplishments of
leadership?

Five Questions Your Board is Asking
Your CEO About Talent
Beyond leadership, which
talent segments are most
critical for success?
What are the top talent-
related levers that
management is pulling to drive
business performance?
How well are we doing on
talent (e.g., leadership
potential, quality of hire,
engagement) relative to our
competitors?
How are we differentiating
our value proposition for
talent relative to
competitors?
Do we have the right
talent for the next three to
five years?
