In the authors' proposed Army Officer Corps Strategy, they established the interdependency of accessing, developing, retaining and employing talented leaders. Before exploring each of those functions in greater detail, however, they must first define "talent." In their view, talent is something possessed by everyone. In fact, each individual has a unique distribution of talent across three dimensions-skills, knowledge, and behaviors. Effective organizations understand this. They successfully access and retain a depth and breadth of talent that can be developed and employed against current and future requirements.
