The best organizations "grow" their talent in addition to "finding" it.
Talent is not a resource which merely exists out in the wild like some kind of unicorn. Talent is DEVELOPED in the right environments with the right team and the right resources.
Large companies especially, need to take a bit more responsibility for cultivating talented people instead of merely project-managing "resources" ad-nauseum, and then finding increasingly elaborate ways to find and recruit talent.
They don't just "grow" new talent, they "manage" existing talent to higher levels of productivity. In my life, I've observed huge differences in my own productivity in different working environment.
Both ways (grow and manage), though, I find the notion of "find the best, set them free, done" is insufficient.
