The document discusses how to identify, utilize, motivate and retain talent within an organization. It defines talent as capabilities beyond normal job assignments. Talent should be identified through performance appraisals, recommendations, and extraordinary achievements. Once identified, a mentor should be assigned and growth plans created with measurable targets and rewards. Motivation comes from fast-track promotions, recognition, and knowledge that the organization values employees. Retaining talent requires understanding reasons for leaving, career development opportunities, and engagement from top management.
