Victory Through Organization: Why the War for Talent is Failing Your Company and What You Can Do about It

by Porchlight Book Company
Dave Ulrich demonstrates that organizational success isn’t just about the talent a company has―it’s about how the collective organization makes the individual talent better.
Today, the HR profession is evolving from an internal focus on people to an external focus on the organization, and how well it can serve its customers to create value. How can HR executives develop the right competencies to evolve with the demands of this new trend? Which companies are leading the way? How can we prove what they do will impact business value and competiveness? Now we can answer these questions with hard data by reading Victory Through Organization: Why the War for Talent is Failing Your Company and What You Can Do about It (McGraw-Hill Education; April 7, 2017), a new book by U. Michigan Professor Dave Ulrich, ranked the #1 most influential international HR thought leader by HR Magazine. Researched together with Ulrich’s coauthors, Victory Through Organization draws on 30,000 survey respondents from 1,400 companies. The findings demonstrate that organizational success isn’t just about the talent a company hasit’s about how the collective organization makes the individual talent better. 
 
As companies grow increasingly and aggressively competitive in hiring and nurturing individual employees, this book offers a refreshing, revolutionary alternative. Ulrich explores why creating dynamic systems that leverage talent throughout the organization can create a unified whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. In the long run, that’s what gives a company the competitive edge it needs.
