How can we measure or understand who is "high potential"?
In our latest talk, Head of Talent Identification Josie and Business Psychologise, Sebastian, discuss:
- How can organisations identify and support talented people?
- What does potential mean and can we measure it?
- What are the drawbacks of “success models” and how do we future-proof our definitions of potential
- How can you identify what good looks like for your organisation
- You’ve found potential – so what? What are you going to do about it?
- The bias of potential
