Spotting, managing and retaining high performers is crucial for the success of any organisation - and Ian MacRae and Adrian Furnham provide a characteristically engaging and accessible account of what we know about this area, and crucially, how to make good use of this knowledge. -- Professor Paul Webley * Director, SOAS, University of London * Praise for the previous edition:
High Potential is not only an all-encompassing review of the science of potential but also encourages you to develop strategies on how to attract, select, develop, grow, and retain truly talented individuals in your organisation; those who in the end will make the difference. -- Paul K Winter * Director, Worldly Leadership Foundation * Praise for the previous edition:
