Wasted Talent is a call to action against a system that has failed workers for too long.The future of work was supposed to be about more innovation, flexibility, and opportunity for all, but for most it has brought nothing but unfulfilled promises. Work isn't working for everyone--and the cost is staggering.This isn't just bad for workers; it's bad for business. When talent is wasted and potential is stifled, everyone loses. The traditional career models have become dead ends, holding back people and progress alike, and those in power seem content to let it continue.But complacency is no longer an option. Wasted Talent demands change. It tears down the excuses and outlines a clear, unapologetic plan to reclaim what's been lost. If companies want to survive--let alone thrive--they must radically rethink how they engage, develop, and respect their people. This book offers a blueprint for a new way forward, where workers are given both opportunity and access, businesses succeed, and the full promise of the future can finally be realized.
