The Talent Management Handbook, Second Edition: Creating a Sustainable Competitive Advantage by Selecting, Developing, and Promoting the Best People

This book is in essence a collection of articles by different people on various aspects of talent management. The chapters/articles are very clearly written and are succinct so easy to read. I've read most of them on a dip-in-and-out basis and I've amassed a wealth of ideas and information in a very short space of time. Published in 2011, it's bang up to date with recent examples. There isn't a great deal of discussion about theory so choose something else if that is what you want. I've worked in HR for many years and believe I can always build and learn more and this book hits the spot nicely.

Using this for my MBA project. Have found it extremely useful

It meets my expectation and helps in the current restructuring taking place in my company. I really like the book

I found that the most of the book is very useful and generally true but some things are too US-specific. For example, in most of the European countries, people would find it strange if you sent them a thank you note.

I got this book to expand my knowledge in talent management and sure it did without having any previous experience in talent management or human resource. All what I have is a bachelor degree in human resource but I found this book easy to understand and a learning guide.

If you are in the business of managing human resources, you must have it on your desk. It is an excellent book and I read it almost every day.

Excellent view parameters, mainly focusing on Managing performance

Excellent book. many talent Managment course providers use this as the text book
