I often get the opportunity to speak with CEOs and leaders of multi-nationals and SME's about the value of top talent to their business. I have come to the following conclusions:>

• Talented executives are often motivated and attracted by the prospect of personal development as opposed to high compensation
• Top talent attracts other top talent - a company with talented executives are more likely to attract other such candidates.
• It often happens that a company full of top talent will grow faster, recognised as a market leader and generate more profits than its competitors.
