“Revealing buried talents”, Jacques Lebeau’s new book
How can you return to profitability by significantly reducing absenteeism, disengagement and burnout? Jacques Lebeau offers an innovative talent-oriented response, with a benevolent approach to manager-manager relations.
Based on the story of the author, a former IT director and iconoclastic executive, the book proposes an innovative methodology for managers to detect and amplify individual talents.
Jacques Lebeau addresses managers of small teams as well as large units, in charge of employees and/or civil servants, whatever the diversity of their staff.
The principles of Talent Management are universal and can be applied to any situation: it addresses the human being holistically.
The book also appeals to managers looking for an approach that refocuses on the human resources of their teams. If readers feel the need for a new way to achieve sustainable economic and social performance, if they are open to a new paradigm in managerial thinking, this book will help them light the spark of humanist management. This is Jacques Lebeau’s sincere wish, and his book is proof that “it works”.
Without being a revolutionary, he advocates and proves that well-being at work is a substantial source of economic performance. Talent management is a powerful lever in the fight against the dehumanization of manager-manager relations.
