Identifying and utilizing talent

In our country, when recruiting for important positions, the overemphasis on academic qualifications has led to a situation where people resort to any means to obtain degrees without considering genuine learning and talent. Social knowledge does not increase; on the contrary, academic excellence is at risk of decline, and genuine talent becomes scarce.

In management practice, especially at the policy-making level, many problems arise that are not covered in textbooks. Therefore, if one only knows how to memorize without understanding and has low intelligence and emotional intelligence, it will be difficult to propose groundbreaking solutions to pressing problems.

A talent-focused environment isn't one that caters to just a select few. It's an environment of equality and independence, where everyone works within their area of ​​expertise. Many people truly have the potential but lack the environment to develop their skills.

A good environment is essential for talent to flourish, so we must establish criteria and a proper evaluation system to define what constitutes talent. Evaluating the quality of skilled labor is relatively easier due to clear criteria, but assessing labor with a high level of intellectual capacity is extremely difficult. This may explain the unfortunate situation we've faced recently, where it's not uncommon to see a mix of talent and incompetent individuals.
