Cool idea, but I can't help but wonder about the whole movement around pushing people toward management or leadership. Sure, it's great to find those of us who are naturally talented in that area. However, in a lot of the big companies I'm familiar with (like my previous employer), there was a glut of "leadership" made mostly of people who shouldn't be leading. Tons of middle management. It separated the regular working employees so far from the origin of their assignments that no one really felt motivated to do more than the minimum. Zero innovation from actual developers, since the system was highly resistant to ideas that originated from below rather than from above.

Great leaders are a vital asset, but transforming every person into a leader is akin to alchemy. And remember, gold is only of higher value because of its relative scarcity, not because it is intrinsically better than other metals. :)
