your company or employees a great disservice if you do not take full
advantage of every member of staffs capabilities. Very often companies, services and educational
environments have staff members and students who have incredible
gifts and talents but who may be hiding them under a bushel or
are not given the opportunity to use the talents to the best of
their abilities. This leads to a ‘less than the best’ outcome
for the individual and for the company, service or educational
institution.
