We all wonder how to tell the really outstanding prospects from the ones who look great on paper but then fail on the job. Or, equally important, how to spot the ones who don't look so good on paper but might still deliver extraordinary performance. In a tough economy, it's more important than ever to make every talent decision count.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Anders sought out the world's savviest talent judges to see what they do differently from the rest of us.
