Mediocre people occupying senior leadership positions is one of the chief reasons for the fiasco and humiliation that organizations like Enron and WorldCom faced.

The practice of recruiting average people often goes unnoticed by the hiring teams until the results begin to surface, which is typically too late for any intervention. A senior executive selection of 2 standard deviations below the average yields -15% return on asset; whereas an executive selection with 2 standard deviations above average causes +25% return, which is 5 times the average.

Identification and onboarding of right people at these complex jobs and senior levels can create a substantial competitive advantage for the organizations.
