Paul Barber OBE | How to identify and develop sustainable talent

Hear Paul Barber, CEO and deputy chairman of Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club, discuss how he goes about identifying and developing sustainable talent.

Paul highlights how the foundation of acquiring sustainable talent lies within how the organisation’s vision and values align with the potential employee, and how advancing recruitment techniques can support this. From there, regular appraisals can be set up for continuous feedback and development, as well as training and development programmes, and succession planning programmes.

Paul emphasises the importance of acting with integrity, thus “inspiring but with honesty”. In the context of the Brighton and Hove football academy, the majority of recruited talent will not make it into the professional football world. Paul says how this way of educating gives all talent the inspiration and confidence to develop, but that being honest provides them with a healthy tolerance for failure, thus preparing them for working life beyond the football academy.
