Features: Each chapter of this book follows the principles of holism and system. The requirement for holism determines that this book goes beyond the expectations of the highly intelligent crowd—merely describing specific objects and listing potential and talents. This book primarily aims to spark people's interest, accompanying them on a suspenseful journey through the realm of leadership and responsibility, while keeping their eyes open to observe the "food supplies" needed for this journey, so as to assist "scouts" or high-quality talents. One of the key points of this book is to describe various measures of human resource development. Targeted training, guidance, and counseling are effective in developing high-potential talents. Some of these development measures, of course, are only applicable to high-potential talents who will hold positions and be promoted in large enterprises: management leadership training programs popularly referred to as "goldfish ponds," such as the company's own training academies. But high-potential talents from small and medium-sized enterprises will not be overlooked either. They can take advantage of various excellent external facilities. The advantage is that sometimes they can gain insights beyond their own scope. This book believes that a high-quality entry-level employee: the salary and additional allowances they receive will far exceed the level that their parents, even after working for 30 years, cannot attain. An initial annual salary exceeding 80,000 marks is no longer rare in the fields of information technology and consulting. The kind of reaction this situation will cause in the consciousness of job seekers is another topic this book will discuss. Who, if they have just entered the workforce and are already expected to receive high material compensation, must also possess mental balance, because this compensation may not even be received by the current department head. Moreover, they must also achieve corresponding outstanding performance—perhaps not immediately, but as soon as possible. In today's society, the demand for significant and perfect work performance is already very high, and thus, in many places, people face the situation of "either be excellent or leave," as well as the fear of taking on a position with a 60-hour workweek. But in many cases, the beautiful combination of professional and personal abilities possessed by many women is a rare and valuable resource. Young men, in evaluating their own potential and abilities, are often overlooked. They can take advantage of various excellent external facilities. The advantage is that sometimes they can gain insights beyond their own scope. This book addresses the question of "how to enter the candidate pool for leaders" for high-potential talents—successors to future corporate managers and experts—and introduces some new training methods.
