Chief Talent Officer

She doesn't level up from a clueless newbie in the workplace to a god-tier expert by grinding through one challenge after another. Instead, she has a keen emotional intelligence and an insightful mind, allowing her to draw conclusions from examples and solve work problems one by one. She can also spark inspiration and motivate the team. An IT woman who can't read classical Chinese isn't an outstanding HR manager. She never went through some motivational phase of guzzling chicken-blood tonic to inspire herself at work. As she puts it, she'd much rather eat chicken. In her dictionary of talent management, there is no such thing as being talented but unrecognized, only being not talented enough! The novel explores six areas: human resources planning, recruitment and placement, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, and labor relations. It offers a realistic look at the strategic and tactical work of HR in today's companies, while exposing the office politics and schemes that make the workplace a battlefield. Along the way, as she grows in her career, she also finds friendship and love.
