    I am not Judging...but I am assessing talent

    Spotting talent takes....talent. You cannot rely solely on HR for assistance...you as a leader must know what good looks like...and be able to see it (or the potential for it) in others.  Join Jim Desmond and Randy Fields as they talk about talent assessment (from hiring it, grooming it, and promoting it).   Grab a drink of some kind and listen in on how you can assess others and yourself. And how bad Monkey Shines scared Jim and Randy back in the 80's.
