This week we dig into the idea of talent flow. How does talent move through your organization? How do you attract it? How do you develop it? How do you promote it? And how do you avoid the dreaded exit interview phrase “There was no room for me to grow?”

Is talent RETENTION the wrong metric? Are we trying to trap people in our organization and keep them doing the same thing for years on end? Or do we want a vibrant, dynamic ecosystem of people full of energy, creativity, and passion because they’re on a journey of discovery and development?

* How does the career path of an Aircraft carrier XO teach us about stagnation?

* How does Gene Hackman’s character in Hoosiers getting kicked out of the game teach us about trial by fire?

* How does the way the Roman army and political system worked teach us about the motivations for caring for your people?

Join us as we explore these and other ideas and try to unclog the gutters of talent flow.
