Given the current economic climate, too many fear losing their jobs. The employee may be in the driver's seat from the macro perspective, and long term, that is probably true. Even though talent may be scarce, that talent is going to have to demonstrate tangible benefit to the company in terms of overall performance. The banking industry has shown us all that talent is no excuse for poor performance. Being lax on the job still has significant ramifications and no one should view their position as permanent. The employee with talent still has to demonstrate worth and though demographics may say differently in terms of shear numbers, there is still a vast pool of untapped talent. Much can be done to develop that talent into a usable resource.
You might want to rethink the name "the war on talent" as this really misses the mark. What is the "war on poverty" really? It equates poverty with something to be eradicated. Same with the "war on drugs" as drugs=bad. Are you really saying talent=bad?
