Every HR, OD professional, and management consultant should at the very least be aware of their existence, if not well-versed in their ideas and theories. In one of the defining management studies carried out in the 90s, Collins and his team complied a list of 1,435 companies in search of those special few that could truly be called “great.”

I met with the top HR managers of the largest 100 companies in the world, and even they said that 75% of their hires turn out to be disappointments… … except for the Topgraders in the room. It doesn’t matter if you are a manager with one employee, an entrepreneur with 30 employees, or General Electric with hundreds of thousands!

In the 20th century, a select group of leaders — General Motor's Alfred Sloan, HP's David Packard and Bill Hewlett, and GE's Jack Welch — set the standard for the way corporations are run. Patience and a long-term view. Forward-thinking leaders are not just achieving measurable success in the short-term.

Some argue that profits are stagnant because of short-termism—that decades of focusing on current profits over long-run innovativeness has resulted, now, in companies that are hollowed out. Most attempts to combat short-termism are flawed because they focus on changing CEO behavior through some combination of pleading and incentives.
