Reviews
Talent Magnetism is the missing book from most executive shelves. We have works on finance, marketing, operations, and research. But the engine that drives all of these areas needs talent for fuel, and Roberta Matuson can help you find and maximize the horsepower from that fuel. This book should be first before all others. -- Alan Weiss, PhD, Author of Million Dollar Consulting, The Consulting Bible, and 50 other books.
With her signature humor and conversational writing style Roberta guides you through the process of making your workplace "magnetic" to attract true super star talent, keep them there, and know when to set them free. This, at times laugh out loud, but always informative and brutally honest, guide presents achievable steps to help even the most stodgy of institutions move and shake with today's talent pool. Because of her writing style it doesn't feel like you are reading a "business guide book" and might even be something you choose to read twice just in case you missed something the first time through! If you find yourself in an organization where your employees act more like anchors than turbo charged engines driving your business towards success, start reading now! -- Andrew Ashley, Vice President, Bank of America
Roberta Matuson does a masterful job of de-mystifying a critically important topic that eludes so many companies. This book is both a call to action and a prescription for success, complete with specific qualities that make companies talent magnets, and live examples of individuals and organizations that have successfully adopted those qualities. This is a "must read" for anyone who is interested in creating an enterprise that consistently attracts and, more importantly, retains great people who will truly make a difference. -- Jerel Golub, President, CEO, Price Chopper Supermarkets
