I went to a seminar last week that was all about talent management. One of the talks was on managing 'troublesome talent' and that sparked quite some debate.
Questions from the audience included:
Are talented employees, by their very nature, troublesome?
Shouldn't all troublesome employees be moved on - whether talented or not?
Is troublesome the worng word?
Are all gen Y employees troublesome?
The test seemes to be to focus on the talented bit first - is an employee talented? If so, then you should spend more time and effort on accomodating them. The alternative approach being suggested was to work with a troublesome employee just in case they are talented!
