Advice to Management

Recognize that talented people are a resource in short supply and prevent the various organizations within the company from hoarding them.

Identify talented people and ensure that they are given the opportunities to move around the company.

Too often, they are considered too critical to be allowed to move, and this just causes them to become bored and then take matters into their own hands and leave the company.
