Remember these new rules of the game: - The selection criteria for tomorrow's talent could scarcely be more different than the ones used today. - Selection based primarily on credentials, skills and knowledge will no longer suffice. - it is essential that you come to know your potential hires - who they are and what motivates them. Executive recruiter, columnist and author Ralf Knegtmans offers nine essential steps companies need to follow to select tomorrow's top talent. He builds on his wealth of hands-on experience, his deep reading and research in the field and his interviews with visionary CEOs and frontline experts. If you screen candidates according to his experience-tested plan outlined in Agile Talent, you will be able to select the very best people to guide your organisation in these turbulent times. This book shows you how to zero in on the right people for the job, with little or no need for outside consultants to help you. Not merely meant for HR managers or recruiters, Agile Talent is of value to senior executives and anyone involved in the selection of top executives, managers and other employees - and to anyone facing a recruiter.

Will these tools yield better predicions of future success? - Are case studies available of businesses at the forefront of hiring agile talent? - How can I spot agile talent already working for my company and how do I retain these talented people?

CULTURAL AGILITY Succeeding in today’s global economy requires organizations to acquire, develop, and retain professionals who can operate effectively around the world, irrespective of country or culture. More than ever before, organizations need a pipeline of professionals who possess cultural agility—the ability to quickly, comfortably, and successfully work in cross-cultural and international environments. Filled with illustrative examples from a wide range of organizations, including the Peace Corps, the U.S. military, and many Fortune 500 companies, Cultural Agility offers business leaders and human resource professionals a step-by-step guide for creating and implementing highly effective, cutting-edge talent management practices to increase cross-cultural competence throughout their organizations. Validated through several years of her research and practice, Paula Caligiuri outlines the “Cultural Agility Competency Framework.” This framework sets the foundation for the strategic talent management practices organizations need to effectively build a pipeline of culturally agile professionals, such as how to attract, recruit, and select professionals with cultural agility or those with the greatest propensity to readily develop cultural agility. Cultural Agility also provides guidance for creating organizational cultures and HR systems to support the development of a workforce that is culturally agile. For example, international assignments are commonly enlisted as a means of developing global leaders, but these have proven to be only partially effective for building cultural agility. Caligiuri offers training and development practices that organizations can use in a learning system to continually build professionals’ cross-cultural competencies, including specific recommendations for designing truly developmental international assignments. This book is a must-have resource for human resource professionals and all business leaders who know that the key to their organizations’ success in today’s complex global economy is their culturally agile human talent.

Simple is seldom easy to implement. However, as a recent Flow trainee puts it, “Flow ‘plays nice’ with everyone! And, it will enable you to successfully customize and implement whatever solution you choose.” Flow is the distillation of over fifty years of successful, hands-on experience that has delivered more than 100 million US dollars in value-add to companies in Europe, the United States, and Asia. Putting Flow into practice, one company increased profit $550,000 in one year on $2.5 million of revenue, and a large Asian telecom turned around a mission critical project from a projected 2-year schedule overrun and 300% budget increase to delivering seven months early and $4 million under the original budget in a 90-day period. Ted and Andrew Kallman unify Traditional management and Agile methodologies enabling successful results, regardless of the existing leadership framework. Simple and easy to understand, Flow helps individuals, teams, and organizations create and sustain high performance.
