Brain Drain:The Myth of Global Village !
• During the 1990s many developing countries saw reversals and stagnation in many areas. – Some 54 countries are poorer now than in
1990. – In 21 countries a larger proportion of
people are going hungry. – In 14 countries more children are dying
before age five. – In 12 countries primary school enrolment
rates have fallen. • The three main causes of this backward
movement are War, AIDS & Brain Drain

The mere assignment of gifted and talented to managerial and policymaking positions is not enough
We need envisioned gifted and talented with deep
knowledge of management and policymaking for their corresponding system
Meritocracy Initiative !?
The main goals of Mission aligned talent management programs are to ensure: 1- Transfer of values (envisioning) 2- Transfer of knowledge and skills (Policy & Management) 3- Transfer of informed and envisioned talents to queen position (Meritocracy)
