The talent is out there; we just have to find it

Thanks to Kathleen Sampey for her article “Room at the Top” [Feb. 9]. It ended with clear thoughts. However, some of the comments earlier in the piece from industry leaders were a crock:

1. “Dearth of talent.” Sorry, there’s plenty out here. And if our leaders feel there isn’t, what’s being done to address this? Investment? Training? Recruitment?

2. Advertising seems “less glamorous.” Again, what’s being done to address this?

At least Steve Blamer was honest.
