"Talent falls on the whole person, with their skills and abilities, that's why it's complex. The most delicate thing is dealing with the other person". With these words, Mariano Vilallonga, a Gesdirección manager, summed up what management Talent is all about in a workshop organized by the high school business and Humanism of School of Economics of the University of Navarra. The expert recalled that people are "constantly interacting with others", which implies that we live surrounded by talent.

The core of management is found, according to Villalonga, author of management of Talent and development OrganizationalVillalonga, author of "the systems of assessment and development, because the first thing an organization has to think about is to be fair and equitable". Therefore, proportionality is necessary between the contribution of value made by the individual and what he or she receives in return. "It is not enough for the organization to be fair, but it must also allow talent to flow so that each person contributes the best of him or herself," he stressed.

"The main difference between a good professional and an excellent professional is to work the development professional and also the staff", he said. For him, the two variables must work collaboratively to find the ideal work status in which work and enjoyment go hand in hand.

Talent map

The entrepreneur also mentioned the importance of efficiently building the organization's talent map, which means having a complete view of how talent is distributed in the business and which constitutes a "fundamental piece" for the subsequent management . Finally, he pointed out the centrifugal sense that should drive the development of work, in which "the best is put at the service of others and never the other way around", taking energy from others in a centripetal way.
