Abstract

Talent or human capital is the primary driver of any successful company, better talents will definitely differentiate higher performance companies from the rest; and talent management is critical when it comes to business excellence and success. Even though talented people are crucial to society (organization), even more important is the person who knows how to find talented people. In this paper, the practitioner/academician author puts forth several key guidelines of talent management, and these guidelines are interpreted and seen through the Confucian visor.

Keywords: Confucianism, talent management; leadership, the talent portfolio, people-oriented management; influence, being persuasive
