The Competitive Advantage of a Talent Rich Organization
By Scott Wintrip
"When it comes to success in business, one measure alone can accurately predict the future—wealth of talent. The more talent wealth an organization has, the more successful that organization will be. We've all experienced the benefits of organizations that are rich in talent. These are the companies we've come to love. When we say we love a company, what we're really saying is we love the work being done by the exceptional people in these organizations. People are the reason why Apple, Alphabet (Google), Amazon.com, and Starbucks remain some of the world's most admired companies. That's why having a wealth of talent is so important for all organizations. Talented employees who do outstanding work are the secret ingredients that make their companies great."
