One of the paradoxes that most companies face is what to do with the most productive of frontline professionals. The typical approach is to promote them to managerial positions, as a reward for their good work. But this leads to companies losing a large part of their most productive workforce. A study suggests that large corporations on average have about 30-40% of their workforce in positions not directly contributing to the customers. This is where agile methods can be the best talent management technique. This clusters the organization into smaller agile teams, where managers get back to work. It is also beneficial for the managers themselves as they see new work paths open up for them. A motivating environment needs to be put in place towards this end. Those small teams must be run as small self-organizing ones.
