The New Science of Human Capital

Collectivism kills talented people I guess so... organizations go to projects model of the organization not to experts model... more... I observe even in Poland like young students judge people with professional experience and skills using tests, schemas without thinking... see e.g. "Silly Job Interview - Monty Python"

Regarding the soldiers there should be other team to do this job (at street, TV) not the same as on the war unless they are really able to do this job well... manager, boss just need to have good eye for detail... be good observer... but also need to be good mentor and skilled to motivate talented people well... Talented people like mentors not people from position of power... ;)
