In order to increase the talent pool in a business companies might consider “Zig-zag” career progression that enables top talent to gain a variety of experiences.

In doing so this replicates the career process that top talent defines for itself when developing a career. This means moving from one company to another and from one responsibility to another.

Placing top talent in one position and maintaining that for too long is likely to create boredom and frustration that eventually means the loss of the talent to one’s competition.
