Not only is home-grown talent development old-school, but leaders shoot themselves in the foot by not building trust to begin with. Employees are not stupid--they can detect insincerity from miles away. This book sounds really good--like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for the review!

Permitting the continued endorsement of allowing medocrity in our workers only perpetuates distinction and class separation. English required is a stronger message for the melting pot when Talent is truely a top Priority.
