Abstract


Talent Management is a comprehensive topic that is gaining attention among the organizations and it is one of the utmost vital encounters faced by the organizations worldwide. It is also important to have skilful managers that equipped with knowledge that will navigate the talent. Looking into a raw potential, this conceptual paper evaluates if identifying talent itself is the foremost important step in the overall process of talent management. When the relationship between these two components is evaluated and established, it gives a better understanding how identifying the best available talent is just as important, if not more compared to developing a less talented individual to take up the role of a leader within that particular organization.
