Talent Plus Challenges Suggestion that PostPandemic Times Mean Leadership Changes 

While everyone is talking in the press about the “new normal” and how companies’ staff needs are going to change due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Talent Plus, Inc. (talentplus.com) is challenging the suggestion that the talent and type of talent employers and executives need has actually changed. Leading national media are urging executives and leaders to potentially change who they are— become more creative, innovative, or agile—but the locally owned leading talent management consulting firm instead recommends that leaders simply need to amplify the strengths they already have. 

“During this unprecedented time, all of us have been inundated with discussions about the future of work, talent, what we are all doing, how we are doing it, and how we will make it work,” said Karl Giuseffi, executive vice president of research and innovation for Talent Plus. “Without a doubt, organizations have been besieged by levels of change they may never have seen and, while the pandemic has created challenges in work-life integration and shifting where people are working, Talent Plus has more than 60 years of research that suggests these changes have never necessitated leaders changing who they are. Top leaders will lean into their own natural strengths and navigate the tide.”
