Lead with you heart, head and hands (Talent Management)

In a SHRM meeting today on Succession Planning/Talent Management, the presenter provided a great presentation that I’ve asked for and if I receive, I’ll attach as a link.  My take away from the message was that in making an organization’s strategic plan vibrant and ennobling, we must lead with our heart, head and hands or with our passion, values and talents.  I’ve taken some liberty to put the message in the context of selling oneself.
