Every week, I review blogs and other publications that cover talent development to find the very best talent development posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to pieces about talent acquisition, induction (onboarding for American readers), your talent review, the hard truth about soft skills, and what went on at ERE Chicago.

From Dorothy Dalton: The hard truth about soft skills
“Hard skills are the foundation of a successful career. But soft skills are the cement.”
