According to Dani Monroe, author and expert in the fields of Organizational Development and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, “The very real talent challenge that today’s leaders face is underscored by two new realities: first, the talents that once delivered success are not the same talents that are needed in today’s complex world; and second, this new kind of talent is scarce.”

"Untapped Talent is a must-read for executives operating in global firms. It provides a fresh perspective on how organizations can gain competitive advantage through their workforce. Monroe challenges the tendency to divide our workforce into A and B players, developing the A’s and ignoring the rest. The book provides a practical guide for leaders and companies that truly want to tap the full and often hidden potential of their workforces."
