Hello Reader,
What if your organization doesn’t actually have a talent problem?
This question has been sitting with me for a while.
Many organizations believe their biggest constraint is talent.
Not enough capable people.
Not enough initiative.
Not enough leadership depth.
[Notice the scarcity mindset in motion there?]
But after years of conversations with leaders across industries, I’ve come to suspect something else may be happening.
Most organizations do not suffer from a lack of talent.
They suffer from something quieter.
A failure to recognize and cultivate the talent already present.
When potential goes uncultivated, something predictable happens.
Energy drops.
Capacity stalls.
Leaders begin to believe the problem is talent.
But often the real issue is that we’ve been trained to extract performance rather than cultivate people.
Which raises an important question:
What potential might already exist inside your team that simply hasn’t been invited forward yet?
With gratitude and hope,
Kevin
