Sales and the 'Talent Magnet'
A lot is written about being a ‘Talent Magnet’, either as a company, or as President. It’s all good practice – listen, mentor, reward, provide clear goals and career maps. Good practice for the employer, but what about the employee?24 May 2011

I have read this article three times. Each time, I felt inspired. Mr. Alan Kaye storytelling is great, and I feel, a key to build and maintain the sense of culture he and his team aspires for Mattel. I grew up learning life's lessons from listening to stories.
I have to give huge kudos to present leaders like Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Mr. Bob Eckert, for understanding the importance of a participating community. ^_^
It is my believe that if more corporate leaders adopted a participating culture in their companies, young generations wouldn't feel so compelled to hop companies every five or so years. Since I recently hit the labor world, I have found it almost impossible to find a company where I feel I can grow from seed to the sun. A company where I can lay strong roots, where I can get back as much energy as I put in.
This article and Mattel are proof to my sister that a worker can feel a happy connection with their employeer/company.
This article was my first read from HR Management. I can't wait to continue being inspired to improve my work and personal life. My actions affect everyone that interact with me.
