Keith Rabois on how to identify great talent

Keith Rabois suggests continuously expanding an employee's responsibilities until you find their breaking point, believing that some unexpected candidates can handle complex tasks. He recommends monitoring workplace dynamics, specifically noting which employees are frequently approached by colleagues for help, as these individuals are likely to be high-potential talents who should be quickly promoted and given more significant responsibilities. This approach focuses on observing actual behavior and peer recognition rather than relying solely on traditional performance metrics.
