Survey of Business Leaders

The Talent Foundation asked one hundred c-level executives of large and rising medium sized companies questions on:

  • The War for Talent
  • Human Potential and Talent Development
  • Innovation
  • Skills and attitudes

The results provide a snapshot of what business leaders think and what challenges they face. Human potential is a hot topic at present and the views of our respondents were as follows:

Human Potential and Talent Development

Respondents were divided as to whether there is a limit to an individual's potential or not. A massive 82%, however, stated that they had not as yet developed their own potential. The majority (86%) of respondents stated they have frequent opportunities to develop their potential.

Nearly three quarters judged that they knew the potential of the people who worked for them. And it's good news on the developing people front, since again three quarters stated that they work in organisations that provide equal opportunities for everyone to develop their potential.

Just over two-thirds stated that their organisation invests most in those with high potential. But over a third stated that they don't have the right people working in their organisations. Does this mean that people's potential is limited? Or that it is wrongly directed? Or just that it hasn't been developed yet?

So, how does your thinking compare to our respondents?

The answers from the survey show that The Talent Foundation's work is relevant in helping to solve the problems emerging in today's fast paced world.
