Talent Magnetism: How to Build a Workplace That Attracts and Keeps the Best - Softcover

Roberta Chinsky Matuson found herself thrown into management at age 24. By her own wits-and through trial and error-she succeeded and became an internationally recognized thought-leader, consultant and career expert, often quoted in the media.

Roberta Matuson does a masterful job of de-mystifying a critically important topic that eludes so many companies. This book is both a call to action and a prescription for success, complete with specific qualities that make companies talent magnets, and live examples of individuals and organizations that have successfully adopted those qualities. This is a "must read" for anyone who is interested in creating an enterprise that consistently attracts and, more importantly, retains great people who will truly make a difference.

With her signature humor and conversational writing style Roberta guides you through the process of making your workplace â??magneticâ? to attract true super star talent, keep them there, and know when to set them free. This, at times laugh out loud, but always informative and brutally honest, guide presents achievable steps to help even the most stodgy of institutions move and shake with todayâ??s talent pool. Because of her writing style it doesnâ??t feel like you are reading a â??business guide bookâ? and might even be something you choose to read twice just in case you missed something the first time through! If you find yourself in an organization where your employees act more like anchors than turbo charged engines driving your business towards success, start reading now!
