Should You Tell HiPos That They Are HiPos?

One of the problems with having more than one blog (and a ning and twitter and facebook and linkedIn and don't get me started) is that sometimes what I write belongs in more than one place. Case in point. Over on the Hip and Sage blog I started wrtiting a post that I thought was very hip and sage-like. But then I kept writing, and it turned to the more managerial topic of succession planning and whether we ought to tell HiPos they are HiPos.

So instead of reprinting the whole post here, if HiPos are a topic of interest, go check the post out and tell me what you think. HiPos, BTW, are high potential employees - people who you think have the potential to move up in the organization.
