MULTIPLYING TALENTS

I was at HR Talent Management Asia 2016 conference today (and also tomorrow). A great conference filled with leaders of big companies in Malaysia. Everyone come together to talk about change, about talent management, about health and wellness, about their success stories which hopefully can be leverage by others and achieve their own success.

The word Talent reminds me of "The parables of talents"  that Matthew said in his book chapter 25:14 onwards.

The talents mentioned by Matthew is like a bags of gold (NIV bible), or money or silver (NLT translation), or a properties (according to AMP translation), all in all refers to a valuable things.

In my professional life now, the talent is referring to our employees, the human, the people.

If I applied the parable of talents in relation to human, it makes it interesting that I need to multiply the human, which I personally translate that I need to be a witness of God's love hence people will see and accepts and glorify God. And they will be witness to others, hence the multiplication of the "talent"

Interesting view indeed.

I am wondering if I have multiply the talent surrounding me. Not only helping their career, their skills development, their financial, etc. But their faith, in Jesus Christ.

I admire one of the speaker today, putting God's words as his closing presentation. He is the Managing Director of Feruni Ceramiche (CC Ngei)

He shared about how he transform the company culture by implementing a mindset change that everything the company do, has to have a purpose. Which is beyond KPIs or ROIs. The purpose that everything we do is for the greater of others.

He quoted Mark 8:36 NIV - "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?"

Ya, are we on track on our purpose in life? Multiplying talents? For the glory of God? And for the greater others?

All glory to God. Another day full of blessing
