The Talent Delusion: Why Data, Not Intuition, Is the Key to Unlocking Human Potential
by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic
This book starts off with a premise I greatly disagree with regarding the concept of talent and connecting it with effortless performance/success. So basically anyone who is dealing with societal bias or intersectional crap, who have to work harder to achieve success, are thus magically not talented, and thus it is ok for the author's talent search company not to identify them for potentially new cool/lucrative jobs.
And the author doesn't really consider that perhaps companies need to be rejigged to enable new groups of people to be successful.
The rest of the book is boring and unremarkable. Employee engagement is important. People's 'negative traits' can be linked to success too.
ETA: for a book about data, the author doesn't spend much time dealing with the issues of systemic bias within most data sets, and for a book about the future of work and 'what to do about a millennial workforce' the author doesn't think much about diversity and inclusion. I mean, suggesting that someone's spotify list would be a good measure of whether they would fit in with the new organization? Great way to get sued, and to hire more of the same.
