Summarize Argument
The author concludes companies should assign their best managers to development projects. Why? Because talented managers are typically assigned to established projects, causing new product lines—which require talent to market—to fail most of the time.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes assigning talented managers to development projects would create a net benefit to companies. This means assuming talented managers would increase the chances new projects succeed, and that the consequent benefit would outweigh any harm caused by removing skilled managers from established project lines.
