The Talent War

by Mike Hunter

Talent is the foundation of every success story from Silicon Valley to Wall Street to Main Street, and even on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. After all, an organization’s people, not its product or service, are its strongest competitive advantage. When it comes to winning on talent, no one does it better or more consistently than the U.S. Special Operations community. Their success comes down to their people and a widely held foundational belief: Talent + Leadership = Victory. The Talent War explores how U.S. Special Operations Forces assess, select and develop their world-class talent. Readers will learn how to adopt a talent mindset, the single greatest weapon in the war for talent, and use it to hire, train and develop the right people and put them in the best positions to make decisions that allow the organization to retake the advantage and win the war.
