ABSTRACT
There is a war for talent heading our way, and while executive recruiters will always be happy to take your calls, you don’t want to have to go outside too often for your top people. Cooper, Hart, and Tennison did not wait for someone else to build a development program for them. They saw the need and made it happen. To quote Barbra Cooper: “I actually drafted a written eighteen-month contract between two o®cers of the company, one on the business side, and me, the CIO, which outlined the terms and conditions of the rotational assignment.”
