None of us want to admit that we would rather feel overwhelmed than underwhelmed. In fact, we often experience a greater sense of our own value when we’re working than we do when we’re not. Working is not just a way to stay busy, but also to prove our worthiness – to others and to ourselves.

Like just about everything else in organizational life, talent development is far more complex and unpredictable than it has been in years gone by. The pace of change is clearly responsible (and really doesn’t care!). Change complicates the process of attracting, engaging and retaining key talent.

There have been, and will forever be, aspects and elements of leadership that remain consistent. For example, there will always be something to do: A task to complete, an objective to achieve and a goal to accomplish. Likewise, there will always be leaders, and there will always be followers.
