Brand Talent: The Great War for Talent
There is no “talent shortage” …
if …
you are a GPTW*
*Great Place To Work
The Case
“When land was the scarce resource, nations battled
over it. The same is happening now for talented people.”
Stan Davis & Christopher Meyer, futureWEALTH
The Talent Ten
Obsession! Greatness!
Performance!Pay!
Youth!Diversity!Women!Weird!
Opportunity!Leading Genius!
1. Obsession
P.O.T.* = All Consuming
*Pursuit of Talent
From “1, 2 or 3” [JW] to … “Best talent in each
industry segment to build best proprietary intangibles” [EM]
Source: Ed Michaels, War for Talent (05.17.00)
2. Greatness
Only The Best!
Home Depot: 7 new growth initiatives ($20B to $100B in 5-7 years)
Arthur Blank: BEST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HEAD EACH
INITIATIVEE.g.: COO of IKEA to head
international expansion
Ed Michaels, War for Talent (05.17.00)
3. Performance
Up or out!
“We believe companies can increase their market cap 50 percent in 3 years. Steve
Macadam at Georgia Pacific changed 20 of his 40 box plant managers to put
more talented, higher paid managers in charge. He increased
profitability from $25 million to $80 million in 2 years.”
Ed Michaels, War for Talent (05.17.00)
4. Pay
Fork Over!
“Top performing companies are two to four times more likely than the rest to pay what it
takes to prevent losing top performers.”
Ed Michaels, War for Talent (05.17.00)
5. Youth
Grovel Before the Young!
“The Rise of the Teen Guru”
“They’re brilliant, ambitious, and almost intuitively gifted at technology.
A new generation of whiz kids are gaining unprecedented power and
authority.”
Case in point: Shawn Fanning, 19, Northeastern dropout, Napster founder
Source: Cover story, Brill’s Content, 7-8/00
6. Diversity
Mess Rules!
“Where do good new ideas come from?That’s simple! From
differences. Creativity comes from unlikely juxtapositions. The best way to maximize differences is to
mix ages, cultures and disciplines.”
Nicholas Negroponte
“Diversity defines the health and wealth of nations in a new century. Mighty is the
mongrel. … The hybrid is hip. The impure, the mélange, the adulterated, the blemished, the
rough, the black-and-blue, the mix-and-match – these people are inheriting the earth. Mixing is the new norm. Mixing trumps
isolation. It spawns creativity, nourishes the human spirit, spurs economic growth
and empowers nations.”
G. Pascal Zachary, The Global Me: New Cosmopolitans and the Competitive Edge
7. Women
Born to Lead!
Women and new-economy
management …
The New Economy …
Shout goodbye to “command and control”!
Shout goodbye to hierarchy!
Shout goodbye to “knowing one’s place”!
Women’s Stuff = New Economy Match

“TAKE THIS QUICK QUIZ: Who manages more things at once? Who puts more effort into their appearance? Who usually takes care of the details? Who finds it
easier to meet new people? Who asks more questions in a conversation? Who is a better
listener? Who has more interest in communication skills? Who is more inclined to get involved?
Who encourages harmony and agreement? Who has better intuition? Who works with a longer ‘to do’ list? Who enjoys a recap to the day’s events? Who is
better at keeping in touch with others?”

them irrelevant.”
Phil Slater
It’s Girls, Stupid!
1996: 8.4M women, 6.7M men in college (est: 9.2 to 6.9 in 2007); more women than men in
high-level math and science courses
More girls in student govt., honor societies; girls read more books, outperform boys in artistic and musical ability, study abroad in
higher numbers
Boys do rule: crime, alcohol, drugs, failure to do homework (4:1)

8. Weird
The Cracked Ones Let in the Light!
“Our business needs a massive transfusion of talent. And talent, I believe, is most likely to be found
among non-conformists, dissenters and rebels.” David Ogilvy
9. Opportunity
Make It an Adventure!
“Firms will not ‘manage the careers’ of their employees. They
will provide opportunities to enable the employee to develop
identity and adaptability and
thus be in charge of his or her own career.”
Tim Hall et al., “The New Protean Career Contract”
10. Leading Genius
It’s All Theater All the Time!
44 Players = 44 Projects = 44 different success
measures = 44 different styles (of you)
Insights from 80,000 managers:
“People don’t change much.“Don’t waste time trying to put in

The Commodity Trap
Quality Not Enough!
“Quality as defined by few defects is becoming the
price of entry for automotive marketers
rather than a competitive advantage.”
J.D. Power
Quality Not Enough!
“While everything may be better, it is also
increasingly the same.”Paul Goldberger on retail, “The Sameness
of Things,” The New York Times
“The ‘surplus society’ has a surplus of similar companies, employing similar
people, with similar educational backgrounds, working in similar jobs,
coming up with similar ideas, producing similar things, with similar
prices and similar quality.”
Kjell Nordstrom and Jonas Ridderstrale, Funky Business

Strategy 1:
Lead the Customer!
“These days, you can’t succeed as a company if you’re consumer led –
because in a world so full of so much constant change, consumers can’t
anticipate the next big thing.
Companies should be idea-led and consumer-
informed.”Doug Atkin, partner,Merkley Newman Harty
“Our strategies must be tied to leading edge
customers on the attack. If we focus on the defensive
customers, we will also become defensive.”
John Roth, CEO, Nortel

Strategy 2:Use E-Commerce to
Re-invent Everything!

“The Age of the Never Satisfied
Customer”Regis McKenna
“The Web enables total transparency. People with
access to relevant information are beginning to challenge any type of
authority. The stupid, loyal and humble customer, employee, patient
or citizen is dead.”
Kjell Nordstrom and Jonas Ridderstrale, Funky Business
RADICAL STRATEGIES
REQUIRED
“Where does the Internet rank in priority?
It’s No. 1, 2, 3, and 4.” Jack Welch
“One cannot be tentative about this. Excuses like ‘channel
conflict’ or ‘marketing and sales aren’t ready’ cannot be allowed. Delay and you risk being cut out of your own market, perhaps not by traditional competitors but by companies you
never heard of 24 months ago.”
Jack Welch [07.00/Forbes.com]

“What we sell is the ability for a 43-year-old accountant to dress in black leather, ride
through small towns and have people be afraid of him.”Harley exec, quoted in Results-based

EVEolution: The Eight Truths of Marketing to Women
Faith Popcorn & Lys Marigold
EVEolution: Truth No. 1
Connecting Your Female Consumers to Each
Other Connects Them to Your Brand
“The ‘Connection Proclivity’ in women starts early. When asked,
‘How was school today?’ a girl usually tells her mother every
detail of what happened, while a boy might grunt, ‘Fine.’ ”
EVEolution
Weight Watchers International “Model”
“What if ExxonMobil or Shell dipped into their credit card database to help commuting women
interview and make a choice of car pool partners?”
“What if American Express made a concerted effort to connect up female empty-nesters
through on-line and off-line programs, geared to help women re-enter the workforce with today’s
skills?”
EVEolution
The New New Jiffy Lube
“In the male mold, Jiffy Lube was going all out to deliver quick, efficient service. But, in the
female mold, women were being turned off by the ‘let’s get it fixed fast, no conversation
required’ experience.”
New JL: “Control over her environment. Comfort in the service setting. Trust that her car
is being serviced properly. Respect for her intelligence and ability.”
EVEolution
Not a Morality Play!
“It is critical that we all understand that IBM is not marketing to women
entrepreneurs because it is the thing to do, or even the right thing to do.
We are marketing to women entrepreneurs because it is a huge
opportunity.”
Cherie Piebes
“What kind of car does Mommy want?”
27 March 2000: email to TP from Shelley Rae Norbeck
“I make 1/3rd more money than my husband does. I have as much financial
‘pull’ in the relationship as he does. I’d say this is also true of most of my women
friends. Someone should wake up, smell the coffee and kiss our asses long enough
to sell us something! We have money to
spend and nobody wants it!”
THIS JUST MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST “THING” IN THIS
SEMINAR. [PLEASE: THINK ABOUT IT!]

Strategy 6 & Summary:
BRAND POWER!
Brand It! Now, More Than Ever!
“The increasing difficulty in differentiating between products and
the speed with which competitors take
up innovations will assist in the rise and rise of the brand.”
Gillian Law and Nick Grant, Management [New Zealand]
“We are in the twilight of a society based on data. As information and intelligence become the domain of computers, society will place more value on the one human ability that cannot be automated: emotion.
Imagination, myth, ritual - the language of emotion - will affect everything from our purchasing decisions
to how we work with others. Companies will thrive on the basis of their stories and
myths. Companies will need to understand that their products are less important than their stories.”
Rolf Jensen, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies
Brand = You Must Care!
“Success means never letting the competition define you. Instead you have to define
yourself based on a point of view you care deeply about.”
Tom Chappell, Tom’s of Maine
