Identify top talent by recognizing expert qualities: high skill, consistent results, adaptability, innovation, strong work ethic, commitment, problem solving, and continuous learning, plus leadership through communication and cultural fit.
Identify the ten things top talent wants: interesting work, respect, competitive pay, learning opportunities, work-life balance, social responsibility, a strong reputation, doing what they do best, health benefits, and stability.
Move quickly to extend a verbal offer to top talent, then present a written, competitive package with relocation, car, stock options, and a high performance bonus, closing the deal.
Establish clear, smart objectives with top talent, agree on outcomes, write them down, and measure progress while removing obstacles to enable success.
Publicly and privately praise top performers, using celebrations, bonuses, meals, and handwritten notes to acknowledge great work. Balance recognition across the team so top talent feel valued and not overpraised.
