THE TALENT DELUSION

Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic

Why Data, Not Intuition, Is the Key to Unlocking Human Potential

A leading business psychologist casts a critical eye over common talent management myths and uses research on the science of talent to reveal how we can improve our ability to understand, predict and manage talent.

All organisations have problems, and they nearly always concern people: how to manage them; whom to hire, fire or promote; and how to motivate, develop and retain high performers.

Psychology, the main science for understanding people, should be a pivotal tool for solving these problems - yet most companies play it by ear, and billions of dollars are wasted on futile interventions to attract and retain the right people for key roles.

Bridging the gap between the psychological science of talent and common real-world talent practices, The Talent Delusion aims to educate HR and talent practitioners and leaders on critical talent issues. It will help readers understand the current problems pertaining employee selection, development and engagement; how to define and evaluate talent; how to detect and inhibit toxic employee behaviours; and how to motivate employees to perform to their best.

Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic is Professor of Business Psychology at University College London (UCL), Visiting Professor at Columbia University, and the CEO Hogan Assessment Systems, a global leader in talent and leadership assessment tools.He speaks English, German, Spanish and Croatian.
