How were the progress makers selected?

We used three criteria to select our progress makers:

​

1. They must have assumed leadership positions over an extensive time period

2. They must have moved their organizations forward by both exploring and refining

3. They must have had extensive experience moving from one platform to another

We were fortunate to interview many of these extraordinary people. We crafted these compelling interviews into Progress Maker Profiles, which are sprinkled throughout the book at the end of chapters. Other smaller vignettes of progress makers are discussed in various parts of books. Clearly this is not a comprehensive list, nor was it intended to be. Rather, we use the stories of these leaders for research and illustrative purposes.
