Foreword by: Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor of Business, University of Michigan Partner, The RBL Group  

What Dave Ulrich Says About the Book :

“As nurturers we try to help others identify their strengths so that they can shape their purpose and make wise choices. I have discovered in my role as talent coach and mentor three critical questions:

[1] what do I want? This question helps an individual sort out passions and strengths into a personal purpose. Knowing what one wants shapes choices and gives meaning and direction to live.

[2] who do I serve? Success is not an individual activity, but one rooted in helping others. It is important for those who desire to succeed to do so by helping others develop their talents.

[3] how do I build? Long term personal success comes from building it into the organizations and institutions where we live, work, and play. We have found in our research that organization has 4 times the impact of the individual in business performance. Recognizing and shaping a culture ensure that ideas outlast the individual

Why go through this desire to nurture and questions to do so? 

Because the book by Dr. V.R.K. Prasad offers wonderful insights, tips, and wisdom that can be used for those seeking to find their place in life and answer the questions I raise. 

In this readily accessible and broad reaching book, he does an exceptional job defining talent and showing that you as an individual are responsible for your talent development. While you may be given DNA from your heritage, what you create with that promise is up to you. He also shares how to improve your personal skills through grit and resilience, accepting success with humility and showing resilience and grit in failure. The ideas are interwoven with inspirational stories of individuals who have been successful in sports, music, business, and politics. He draws on his decades of wisdom and passes his insights onto others.

Any younger (or older) person who wants to achieve all that is possible will find gems pearls of insight in these ideas.”

In Chapter 3 of the book a fairly large number of simple and live cases have been highlighted to motivate and inspire anyone who is looking for cranking of the engine. Talents and skills
developmental process outlined in simple steps at various stages forms the core of Chapter 4 of the book. The book is aimed at every school, college, university student or even at a working executive so that he or she starts believing in himself or herself and develops the talent and skills he or she is passionate about.
