In my experience top talent is available pretty much 24/7. Not necessarily in the office, but "always on". In order to really climb up the ladder, they incorporate work into almost every part of their lives, and most of them seem to enjoy it.


Bit of a misnomer - talent is not directly tied to hours spent working, especially in knowledge industries.

This simple, basic fact escapes most of our industry managers who still use management practices developed a century ago to manage steel mills.

So yes, we may be "always on" but that means inspiration and thought could come at any time.
