Career Shaping of a Talented Employee

Abstract

Contemporary career is perceived more like an individual’s property, as opposed to the traditional understanding of an organization property or profession. The principal responsibility for its shape and conduct is taken over by an employee. It is interpreted primarily in a personal, subjective way. Career paths are created in time, space, which will be recognized by an individual as beneficial. Also, the career direction and the interpretation of its success have an individual dimension. This observation is particularly relevant for talented individuals who have a disproportionate impact on the organization performance. If they leave the organization, it poses a serious threat to its functioning and development. Talent management is interpreted primarily taking into account the organizational aspect. It is, therefore, important to build employees’ relationships with the organization, which requires both strategic and individual perspective.
