Talented People in Today's Organization; in Particular How to Support and Stimulate Them to Work in Team.

An issue of ‘talented people’ has been discussed for many years. Many companies consider talented employees to be the main factor of gaining competitive advantage over their competitors. This is mostly due to the fact that talented people are perceived as those who are of great value for an organization. Nowadays, behaviors such as cooperation and teamwork play an important role, not only among members of an organization but also between organizations. The purpose of my research is to study the characteristics of talented people and their working style in today’s business world. Furthermore, the other aim is to present the method applied with a view to support and stimulate talents to collaborate with others. To answer the research question: ‘Talented people in a today’s organization; in particular, how to support and stimulate them to work in team’, qualitative approach has been adopted. I have collected and analyzed data by having interviews, doing surveys, and gaining knowledge from literature. Most of participants had management positions and supervised an executive team, in particular, from the field of environmental companies. The research has proved that nowadays talented people have specific characteristics and handle matters their own way. In order to support and stimulate them to work in a team, trust and creating motivation are necessary. To some extent, leaders should stimulate talents to collaborate together, but, on the other hand, they ought to allow them to work on their own, depending on their professions and personality. Nevertheless, in my study I focused on the area of team work. A suggestion of team dynamic developing process for talented people to perform successful team work has been concluded in the last part of the thesis
