The explanation of how or why the library should be competitive has been added in the new version.

Some of the statements made by some authors who were cited in the work were simplified. The social and practical implications of the research were addressed in the new manuscript. The findings of the recent studies on the talent management of LIS professionals have been precisely discussed in the literature review. Owing to the growing importance of managing talents, pertinent related literature has been reviewed. we have put spotlight on a selected few recent studies like, Ehrnrooth et al., 2018, Latukha & Veselova, 2019: Gallardo-Gallardo, 2019: Sukla, 2023. Hence, we have thoughtfully made the discussion part quite precise to make the text impactful. The new paper offered insights into the process, standards, and mechanisms of competition in promotion decisions as there was no comprehensive case study on grooming and promotion of talented LIS professionals towards the holistic growth, vision, and mission of the organization has been dealt with. In all fairness, this new version has added precise and valuable thought content which will be helpful to all the readers., , [version 2; peer review: 2 approved with reservations]
