** Tweetable Quotes:**

“You can line up a hundred people from the same school, with the same experience, and you cannot credit which of those hundred will be successful in a role versus the other. You have to look at people’s innate talents, their ability to innovate, communicate, and work well with others.” 

“We need to recognize that [talent management] is about adding objective, fair data into the process and being able to see people holistically.”
