When people ask “What is Talentism?” I should just say “A better way to do business” or “A way to fix what’s broken with a lot of western economies, but mostly with America.” Or maybe I should lay it on thick, put it all out there: "Talentism is a way to course correct from the managerial-centric corporate system that destroys shareholder value, encourages waste and immoral behavior and picks away at the very societies it needs to succeed." I should avoid devolving into lectures that have been developing in my head for almost 30 years. You would think I could learn by now that this is the business conversation version of “Isn’t the weather nice today?” Call me Quixote, but this is the windmill I have chosen, and I'll keep tilting at it until it really turns out to be a dragon or I die trying.
