In this episode, Bob ’n Joyce explore the common practice of relying on the same group of people—time and again—to get important work done. Joyce calls them the “spoiled brats,” while Bob refers to them as the “usual suspects” or “chosen ones.”
The problem? This habit unintentionally sidelines the talent in waiting—the wild cards and up-and-comers—who miss out on critical development opportunities. We dive into practical ways to tap the full potential of your organization by broadening access to special projects and growth experiences beyond the usual favorites.

In this episode:
• Eye-opening stories about the surprising success of newbies and wild cards
• A breakdown of a common flaw in talent planning that keeps this pattern alive
• Why hands-on project work often beats traditional training for impact

If your company is stuck picking from the same short list—and it's holding you back—this episode is your wake-up call.

So pull up a chair, grab your favorite snack, and let’s shake things up together.
