I am inspired to create an " and also" substack to these questions. There are so many thoughts I want to offer to this phenomenon.
Why people would say yes to a position like this, what companies can do instead, who decides what talent is, is it talent if it's not exercised and pressure tested. How talent is perceived from someone's network, how people can brand themselves as talent, but are relatively unremarkable in the ways they think ( or companies think) talent should be applied. And that's just this post.
Lol my brain just lights up with the way you build to the questions and allude to your opinion but you don't really state a solution or alternative.
( so few can do this.)
🤌🏻 chef's kiss.
Thought evoking.
But all the thought are muffled by action and hustle and linear vs lateral thinking, because it ( linear thinking) takes less energy And effort.
People get so focused on what works for business defensibilty, ( ie resource moats) they always go with more of the same actions. And is cleverly discovering and coveting unconsidered resource truly talent? Or evil genius🤔
Of course there is also the new trend in thought that humans would substantially reduce carbon emissions if the majority of work (aka pointless jobs) was scrapped and people were paid to sit at home - cutting down on transport, paper usage, food, double electricity etc. Think the guy who wrote the book (called Bullshit Jobs) is David somebody...
