One of the most exasperating things to shareholders and the public is when a CEO receives millions or tens of millions of dollars of compensation regardless of performance. This practice goes fundamentally against the culture of rewarding on the basis of ability and merit that underpins the free market system.
From what I have read and heard in the last year signs point to a strong possibility that meaningful reforms to rein in excessive executive compensation could be a prospect, as many political leaders in Europe and the United States seem to be finally catching up to the public uproar.

One language is beginning to emerge as the focal point of financial services organizations stretching from established capital markets in New York, London and Hong Kong to fast-growth and emerging global business centers such as Dubai, Shanghai and Mumbai.
It is the language that unifies global strategy with tactical execution in an increasingly competitive global market for financial services. And one that speaks to future performance potential more clearly than any other.
It is the language of talent.
From Paris, London, and New York to Hong Kong, Moscow, Mumbai and beyond, the leaders of the TRANSEARCH International Global Financial Services Search Practice have combined their regional perspectives on the currents that are redrawing the world’s wealth map into this global report on the influence top management talent will play far into the future.

Growing tensions about the state of the world’s natural resources workforces have surfaced for a few stark reasons. These include the industry’s increased appetite for skilled workers, the ongoing challenge of convincing enough university students to pursue energy-related careers and the considerable demographic shift that is beginning to move the global post-war generation into retirement.
The perspectives of the TRANSEARCH global Resources, Energy and Infrastructure practice leaders frame the challenges ahead in the White Paper entitled 'Under Pressure: Natural Resources Human Capital - Perspectives from Transearch International' which presents a strikingly similar long-term growth barrier for nearly all of the world’s leading natural resources companies – that is, the scarcity of human capital and skilled leadership talent.
The White Paper presents regional perspectives from North America, South Africa, India and Latin America and addresses key issues such as new pressures that are being driven by the acceleration of the so-called commodities market “super-cycle”, human capital deficits resulting from massive and sustained increases in demand for natural resource commodities, and significant market shifts from government-controlled natural resources to the private sector.

Alain Tanugi, Chairman, TRANSEARCH International Partners, was recently interviewed on CNBC's Headhunting Report with Ross Westgate. Following the credit crunch Alain provided his opinion on banks hiring plans.
Asked how the financial services were reacting to the credit crunch Alain replied 'Some of them have put a total freeze on their hires. Others are just pursuing already long assignments for certain fields. But, for the more hurt fields and sectors they are on the layoff approach or on a total freeze just waiting to see exactly what is going to happen to the markets in the near future'.
Alain is reasonably hopeful for 2008, suggesting that other sources of revenue for the major financial institutions will provide a buffer and lead to a continuity in the flow of hiring.
Alain Tanugi has over 30 years experience in Executive Search.

Since December 2000 the Zurich office is the only Retained Executive Search enterprise in Switzerland with an RES / ISO 9001:2000 certificate.
