A big part of the problem is the belief that talent always gets noticed and is rewarded. This is very far from reality. Talent very rarely gets noticed (especially in complex and innovative fields; managers simply don't have the necessary knowledge to be able to identify real talent). Even when noticed, talent is rarely rewarded because office politics get in the way.
