Synopsis

Because the U.S. military's long-held advantage in physical capital and equipment is waning, cutting edge human capital management is more critical than ever before. The authors of "Starting Strong" argue that by gathering detailed information on the unique talents possessed by each newly commissioned Army officer, as well as on the unique talent demands of each Army basic branch, the Army can create a "talent market" that identifies and liberates the strengths of every officer, aligning each with the career field where they are most likely to be engaged, productive and satisfied leaders. Strong evidence demonstrates that this talent-based approach better aligns officer talent with occupational requirements while simultaneously increasing individual branch satisfaction. Audience: This content may appeal to new soldiers entering the military, especially the Army commissioned officers corps, active duty leaders, Army and armed forces personnel policies towards the development of their workforce to meet the changing technological needs of the branch services.Additionally, students pursuing coursework in military science, organizational behavior management, leadership, and human resources management may be interested in this text for research relating to military environments compared to private sector disciplines.
