The Final Stage of the S-Curve

The final stage of the S-curve is having mastered what you do. When a person gets to the top of a curve, they need to come to you and say, I'm at the top of my curve, it's time for me to do something new. Sometimes that'll mean that basically they've just pushed themselves off the island by asking that question. But if you really believe that the talent belongs not to you and your fiefdom, but to the organization, you will happily let them do that.
