After completing the reading this week, we reflect on a few key concepts this week:

1. Discuss the key components of human resource management.  Pick at least four concepts from chapter nine and describe how these concepts interrelate to individual performance on a team.
2. Review table 9.2 and select one of the dimensions listed, note why it was chosen and how you relate to this behavior.  If you have a personal experience, please share.
3. How do leaders select the best talent? What are some tools they can use to select the best-talent?

Please be sure to answer all the questions above in the initial post. At least one scholarly (peer-reviewed) resource should be used in the initial discussion thread.  Please ensure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library.  Use APA references and in-text citations.
