We've all heard about the shortages of talent in the HR world. What if, however, the very word "talent" was the root of the problem? Suzanne Lucas shows us the fallacy of talent and how we can all be that qualified employee.
The intro animation was produced as a collaboration between TEDxBasel and the Hochschule Luzern. This animation was created by Benjamin Lüthold, Rhoda Berger and Ramona Graf. Find out more about this event and the other ideas that were shared at www.tedxbasel.com Suzanne spent 10 years in corporate human resources where she hired, fired, managed the numbers and double checked with the lawyers. Today, she's a writer and speaker who focuses on explaining the world of work and helping people have better careers, whether it's through a better CV or managing a relationship with co-workers. You can find her writings all over the internet including Inc. Magazine, CBS News, the New York Times, and at her blog, EvilHRLady.org. Suzanne Lives in Bottmingen with her husband and children. Even though she's been in Switzerland for 9 years, she still isn't sure she's doing her recycling correctly.

Suzanne has identified and articulated the problem that I find so frustrating: employers looking for "experience" and a long list of skills and are unable to give opportunities to people who could excel at a position and make significant contributions to a company. So many people could do the work if given the opportunity and companies are missing out on a significant pool of potential employees (I was going to say "talented employees," but Suzzane rightly points out that's not what companies should look for).

This makes me think of doing my BS in Physics. Three of us routinely stayed up until 1 or 2 in the morning working on homework at least a couple of times a week. Sometimes we were (metaphorically) beating our heads against the wall trying to solve the problems, but it never occurred to us that we wouldn't be able to solve them. So we kept at it until, finally, we succeeded. It taught me that anybody who's foolish enough to think that they can learn Physics, even though everyone knows that it's a subject that's much too difficult for anyone but a genius to have even a chance with, turns out to be right, they just have to put in the time. The other lesson that it reinforced, which I'd been told by my high school Calculus and Physics teacher, is that the only way to learn these subjects is to "work a million problems." Lectures and reading the textbook did very little, but struggling with problems taught me a lot. The same was true in grad school: I learned to do good experimental work, to design and build things, and to find solutions to difficult research problems by struggling with them.

I see what she's saying to an extent, but talent plays a huge factor in building a skill sometimes. A skill comes by a hours of working on a particular thing, but talent is is often something that you build that thing with. If you're not musically inclined, it doesn't matter how many hours you put in, if you are not athletically gifted, you can practice all you want but it's not always going to be what we expect

I thought this for some time, having studied recruitment. I got to wonder why Occupational Psychologists were being employed in assessment practices. They set these high levels and it was clearly just a matter of getting a certain type they'd already prejudged could do the job. In reality quite a few could, but the employers don't want to spend the time training, encouraging, helping skill staff. They just now treat many staff as throw away phones.

But organisations hire social, extrovert people, people who supposedly would fit with the colleagues, maybe a good talker, but they neglect competence, experience, the hard work behind doing something successful, they hire younger of older, everytime... Makes you wonder!

talent | ˈtalənt | noun 1 natural aptitude or skill "Well, it’s time for organizations to stop fixating on talent and to focus on skills instead" Talent and skill by definition are one in the same. You hire for talent because you expect the skill to be there! :facepalm:
@MrRinre
@MrRinre 2 года назад
Let me rephrase it for you so that you can understand. It means natural aptitude or natural skill. English is tricky.
@LMach1
@LMach1 2 года назад
@@MrRinre OK, by natural are you saying as some use endowment. E.g. They were endowed with a natural gift of musical talent, and not the talent based on effort? (Perhaps a bit pleonastic but my example is to better understand). I agree, it is tricky.

She talks about how it's not talent but work and says she lacks natural talent for winning a gold metal in a marathon... she said she doesn't work either but there is no either it's just the working part she lacks...

You have to work hard even if you are talented. Even talented athletic, scientist,actor, musician etc work hard. Take the example of Tesla.

Sounds sooooooo kind and beautiful of this nice woman.........BUT IT IS STILL NOT TRUE. If you don´t have talent then you will never make some progress that would be worth the investment of time. People like Ronaldo and other legends were only ready to work very hard because they felt that they made a lot of progress and that bthey were very good in what they were doing....because they had talent. If they had to struggle for yeaars to get just one fottstep foreward then they would never work that hard. Accept the reality! Even Ronaldo himself said that talent is more important than hard work. You can find this on RU-vid where he says that.

The untalented people also worked very, very hard.But guess what? They're still very ordinary performers.All great success comes from natural giftedness. A study even showed that grit and determination had almost zero effect on academic performance.
@kokui2556
@kokui2556 4 года назад
Can you give the name of this study? I can only seem to find studies that support grit if not just perseverance. Though even grit pusher Angela Duckworth takes a stance of having well rounded character strength traits with grit being just one of those good ones you should have. But that's still not for natural talent.

Most of expert studies fails in life. Experts measurement can be quantified but life can't.
