Dean's Distinguished Speaker Series - Star Performers: Insights from Talent Management and Leadership Research
Organisations depend on a small number of individuals to deliver disproportionate impact, yet many talent decisions are still shaped by intuition rather than evidence. New research shows that star performance is often misunderstood, inconsistently identified, and poorly supported at scale. This matters now as tighter labour markets, rising expectations, and greater workforce transparency place pressure on leaders to make better people decisions.
In this lecture, Professor Herman Aguinis examines how organisations can identify, develop, and retain high impact performers using rigorous data and research insights. You will gain practical understanding of what distinguishes star performance, how leadership and systems influence sustained contribution, and how people analytics can be applied responsibly, with fairness and governance in mind.
