An organization’s talent review process helps differentiate employees to improve talent decisions and investments. While most reviews include high performers and high-potential employees, a new article by Marc Effron of the Talent Strategy Group highlights another segment—“Stars.” As Marc describes, “somewhere above the intersection of high performers and high potentials exists a rare and exceptionally capable type of talent” known as Stars. They stand out in two ways: 1) Outstanding performance, delivering output 5 to 50 times that of an average performer, and 2) High visibility, as they are widely recognized in their industry through media, articles, speeches, and other platforms. The article shares insights and data on this talent segment and suggests placing them in critical roles to maximize their disproportionate impact. The article offers valuable considerations as organizations refine how they identify and manage talent. As a bonus, I’m resharing Marc’s 2024 High Performer and High Potential Development report, which provides insights from a survey of 300+ companies on ten key questions about high performers and high potentials.
