There are no dazzlers, gabblers, or people who only got promoted due to their connectionsThe examples from wildlife and how ‘talent management’ works in the animal kingdom show us exactly how we can improve our talent management in businesses and organisations.The manager of the future has to be agile like a cheetah, perseverant like an African Wild Dog and level-headed like an elephant!Yes, I actually recorded this course on a safari in South Africa.I, your coach Axel Rittershaus, have been a professional executive coach and facilitator of leadership development programs worldwide since 2008.
