In the late 1970s, global business was obsessed with "strategy." Executives believed that if they hired a brilliant consultant to write a brilliant strategic plan, the company would naturally succeed. Yet, many companies with perfect strategies were failing miserably. Two consultants working at McKinsey & Company, Tom Peters and Robert Waterman, realized that a brilliant strategy is entirely useless if the internal architecture of the company is a mess.

If you offer a human a 50% chance to win $100, the theory said the human mathematically values that gamble at exactly $50. In 1979, psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky proved that humans do not think like calculators. Through a series of brilliant psychological experiments, they created "Prospect Theo

In 1997, Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen asked a terrifying question: Why do massive, highly successful, brilliantly managed companies suddenly fail? He noticed that companies like Blockbuster or Kodak did not fail because they were lazy or stupid. They failed precisely because they did everything right. They listened to their best customers, invested in high-quality research, and managed their money perfectly. Yet, they were still destroyed by small, we
