This is really well done, but I feel like it (and other such frameworks I've seen) all start to fall apart at high levels of seniority. What makes someone D7 in this framework? The real answer is not in the charts, it's that they're very business critical. Maybe they're some ultra-niche specialist or just the only one who's been at the company since the beginning and knows where the bodies are buried. Things change in very interesting ways once the power dynamics between employer/employee shifts so the company asking the employee what it will take to make them stay.

My take on management (and really on life) is that every theory/framework is a setting stone and not instructions. The framework helps you think better, but reality is always more complex than what is described and covered in the framework. Best managers IMO are aware of many different strategies, frameworks etc and adapt it to suit their organization needs (based on the culture, people, goals, etc).
