She went on to decry the “talent vacuum” created by high numbers of retiring employees combined with a shrinking core of new “talent” – younger people willing and able to don the leadership mantle and take on the responsibilities and sacrifices it requires.
She did have one source of hope, however – a few exceptional individuals hand-picked for possessing the right stuff, her “talent pool.” And she wanted us to meet them over a drink, a talent-pool party, one might say.
