By blocking other analysts from a similar pattern of up and out, Colony & Co are blocking a very obvious sort of brain drain.

But is it fair to the analysts, who are blocked from becoming stars? Or stated another way, are the ideas in your head owned by your employer? Are the skills and cognitive apparatus that structures your thinking — and which you developed over a lifetime of childhood, education, previous employment, and late night ruminating — an asset that is explicitly owned and under the control of your employer? Can you have an insight off the clock, and share it with others? Can you have a personal voice about the direction of technology, or how society and business are impacted by it, if you are employed by an analyst firm?
