The War for Talent, written by Ed Michaels, Helen Handfield-Jones, and Beth Axelrod, emphasizes the critical importance of talent management in corporate success.
The book, based on five years of research involving 13,000 executives from over 120 leading companies, highlights the need for a 'talent mindset' where leaders prioritize recruiting, developing, and retaining top managerial talent.
