TALENT MANAGEMENT: A Stewardship Approach to Discovering, Developing, and Deploying Giftedness

In Talent Management: A Stewardship Approach to Discovering, Developing, and Deploying Giftedness, Goodson Mumba challenges conventional talent management models that focus on extraction, competition, and short-term performance. Instead, he presents a transformative framework that views talent as a divine deposit entrusted to individuals, organizations, and nations for purposeful development and service.
Blending biblical insight, leadership philosophy, human development theory, and practical management principles, this book explores how giftedness is identified, nurtured, empowered, and released to produce lasting value. From creating empowerment environments and transformational leadership to national talent strategies and talent-driven economies, the book expands talent management beyond corporate HR into a societal and generational mandate.
More than a guide for managers and HR professionals, this work speaks to leaders, educators, policymakers, faith institutions, and parents who understand that the future is shaped by how talent is treated today.
When talent is stewarded well, individuals flourish, organizations thrive, and nations rise.
This book calls readers to move from talent consumption to talent cultivation—and to participate in the sacred responsibility of unlocking human potential for the good of all.
