Guy Whitcroft — Why the CEO is the new talent leader

The current understanding in modern business is thus: innovate, or risk being knocked down the economic ladder by a company “hungrier” and more forward-thinking than you are.

The importance of human capital cannot be underestimated. With over 80% of a company’s total value lying in intangible assets such as people, it only makes sense that a major limiting factor in company growth is the availability of skilled workers. Guy Whitcroft calls on CEO’s to take note and start playing a more active role in talent recruitment.
