Industrial

The outside talent trend

October 2004

The electrifying growth of the home building industry is beginning to create concern about the supply of exceptional talent. If it isn’t coming from within the industry’s ranks, where will it come from? Outside of the industry, say more and more home builders.

Based on conversations with leading industry executives, the article, featured in GIANTS magazine, identifies the five traits needed in today’s home building leader: vision, business sophistication, personality, analytical thinking and relationship skills. The article, written by Scott Petty, also outlines how companies can take a more formalised approach to organisational development, combining the need for internal development with the introduction of outside experiences.
