How Organizations Can Identify Hidden Talent
Organizations often assume that talent is visible through performance, job titles, qualifications or promotions.
But some valuable capabilities remain hidden because employees have never been given the opportunity to demonstrate them.
Why talent hides
Capability may be hidden because a role doesn't require it, a manager overlooks it, or the skill was developed outside of formal work.
Look beyond the job description
Ask employees what they are naturally good at, what they do outside of work, and what kinds of tasks others frequently ask them to help with.
Observe repeated patterns
Look for employees who consistently organize chaotic projects, mediate disagreements, or explain difficult ideas without being asked.
Provide opportunities
Hidden talent is not absent talent. Organizations must create opportunities like stretch projects or cross-functional assignments for these abilities to become visible.
