The work by Branham initially provides a lively discussion of several areas associated with senior employee turnover. Causes for the competition for executive talent are provided and include statistical presentations related to the scarcity relative to the current demand for senior talent. Branham makes the point that the future is not much brighter in this regard as compared to the present. Also discussed are the various factors associated with turnover, including those incentives, other than pay, that are associated with talented executives leaving their jobs.. This section concludes with discussions regarding the identification of the talent that is worth keeping in your business. In other words, how does the employer identify the senior workers who are worth keeping on the job; those who are the real assets to the firm.

Once the cardinal skill of the practicing psychologist, assessment has taken a progressively less central role in defining the profession. During the past three decades, assessment has become the target of intense scrutiny and dissatisfaction from within psychology as well as from outside the profession.A core curriculum in assessment must provide students with the comprehension, knowledge, and skills to meet current societal assessment needs and prepare students to meet the future needs of a rapidly evolving society. To accomplish these goals, the construction of a core curriculum in assessment must be based on and responsive to a systematic review of the criticisms of traditional psychological assessment.
