As a masters student in Management, I have picked up many books to expand upon what I'm learning in my classroom studies. This book has exceeded my expectations. The topics discussed are all top notch and well developed. Well worth the money.

Great reference for Corporate Style talent management
Used this book for MBA course at a major research university. The information in it strongly matches the techniques used by successful corporations. The biggest divergence from what is advocated in the book vs. high-quality talent management programs is where the book advocates avoiding self-assessments. It argues that self-assessments are generally the least accurate representations of performance, however, I argue that they have many other benefits such as creating a discussion rather than simple feedback, allow self-reflection for the associate and level set beliefs on performance.

Good read
I found that the most of the book is very useful and generally true but some things are too US-specific. For example, in most of the European countries, people would find it strange if you sent them a thank you note.

Varied, informative, succinct and interesting articles and bang up to date!
This book is in essence a collection of articles by different people on various aspects of talent management. The chapters/articles are very clearly written and are succinct so easy to read. I've read most of them on a dip-in-and-out basis and I've amassed a wealth of ideas and information in a very short space of time. Published in 2011, it's bang up to date with recent examples. There isn't a great deal of discussion about theory so choose something else if that is what you want. I've worked in HR for many years and believe I can always build and learn more and this book hits the spot nicely.
