This week, you’ll find pointers to pieces on the biggest recruiting mistake, a leadership learning matrix, the “Law of the Hammer” in training, and making talent management and workforce management to work together.

“Here are some talent management considerations you should look at when doing your workforce planning, and some workforce planning considerations you need to think about when doing talent management.”
