  • Talent Management: the Good, the Bad, and the Possible
    European Management Review, (2018) DOI: 10.1111/emre.12171 Talent Management: The Good, the Bad, and the Possible 1 1 2 MOLLIE PAINTER-MORLAND, SUSAN KIRK, GHISLAIN DESLANDES 1 and CAROLE TANSLEY 1Nottingham Business School, Nottingham, UK 2ESCP Europe, Paris, France In this essay we offer a critical investigation of talent management practices (TMP), which is an increasingly influential concept in contemporary organisations. We try to show how these organisational practices could have both a negative and a positive ethical impact on those identified as ‘talent’ within organisations. A critical analysis of how talent is defined, and how this impacts on individuals’ capacities for ethical reflection, allows us to highlight the ethical ambiguity inherent in talent management (TM). We then highlight examples of some ‘bad’ consequences of TM, and explore some ‘good’ counter-examples. To highlight what may be ‘possible’ in talent management, we propose a more constructive relationship between talent management and ethics based on two dimensions: (1) the acceptance of ambiguity and personal struggle and (2) the development of more qualitative approaches to performance that could enable a better understanding of and sensitivity towards the broader context within which organisations function. Keywords: talent management discourse; ethical reflection; ethical freedom; self-reflection; Foucault Introduction talent management has been described as a euphemism for the ‘use’ of elite human resources, thus failing to conform Talent management (TM) is a corporate buzzword that has to the basic ethical principle of not using people as a become a priority of boards of directors, HR managers and means to an end (Greenwood, 2002: 261).

Permaculture is an approach integrating a long-term vision in agricultural methods and creating sustainable agricultural systems.

Permanagement: a new perspective on management inspired by permaculture Introduction Sustainable development, as defined by the United Nations Organization in 1987 is a “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” (Brundtland Commission (United Nations), 1987). Achieving such a development involves rethinking how business is conducted. One aspect of this endeavor has been to make businesses accountable for their possible negative impacts, leading for example to the so-called triple bottom line, considering social and environmental performance in addition to financial performance.
