Part of making things happen as an individual, in your career, or as a company is taking a hard look at things and saying, "These are my flaws. These are my shortcomings. These are the self-defeating actions where Ive shot my success in the foot." Any person or company who says theyve never done those things is hindering their success, ruining their achievement, and unwittingly keeping themselves stuck in the middle. The unwillingness to do a hard current state assessment is a barrier between getting what you want and continuing to lack what you need. Finding that progress gap is the secret ingredient in the magic formula for understanding what it is that you need (not necessarily what you want) and then taking the steps to get that result (which leads to what you want). Talent management is indeed a business imperative to build and grow a successful organization ... but more importantly it is also a personal imperative for professionals to build successful careers.When people dont employ personal talent management in the way of owning their own succession plan; when companies and organizations dont build and sustain an integrated talent management strategy; they remain stuck in the middle; somewhere between who they are and who they want to be. How to get unstuck, how to break free from the middle is what individuals and organizations often dont understand. That critical understanding (and ability to take action on it to improve your situation) is what youll find in this book as told through the eyes of a member of Generation X.
