Executive Coach Marguerite Highlights Top-Grading*
If you are tired of not being able to attract the best talent for your organization or not being able to sustain the best talent, Top-Grading may be part of your solution to becoming a Premier Employer!
Top-Grading, is a process developed by Dr. Bradford Smart, which assisted Larry Bossidy, Former CEO of Honeywell, to gain a competitive advantage by hiring, coaching, and keeping the best people. Top-Grading is a process which assists organizations to create a "Dream Team" of A-Players (the top 10 % of those available for a position, A.K.A. best of class) and keep them employed within their organization. Top-Grading assists organizations to raise the bar as to attract the "right" talent, develop newly attained and former talent, and developing ways to keep the best of themon your team.
Before I was an Executive Coach and Business Strategist, I was an Executive Recruiter for Corporate America for 8 years. I listened to the woes of companies trying to attract their Dream Team and how they failed miserably at this most elementary feat. They hired me to assist them with developing what type of talent was needed for upcoming initiatives and then assist them in assessing the A-Players in the marketplace.
The principles of Top-Grading are logical and simple- not necessarily easy. A successful implementation of Top-Grading requires a Champion leading the Inititative and with the objective of this initiative understood, it becomes the key focus of the TMTMs (Top Management Team Members). Why? If organizations are able to attract the best and appropriate talent in the marketplace for the most critical initiates on the strategy board, the business will succeed and everyone will be more productive becuase all the key players are collaborating to actualize the common goals.
Exceptional talent in the marketplace doesn't come knocking on your door often so the key becomes a game of attraction and sustainability. Business Strategist Marguerite has over 10 years of experience to assist you in creating Your Dream Team and Transforming Your Professional Fate into Personal Destiny for All! Want to have Your Dream Team in place effectively and efficiently? Call 262-716-7750 or email her at the Contact Marguerite / Maggie link to left sidebar. Together, let's collaborate and create your organization to be an Employer of Choice!
