Findings
When a British TV program ran a poll to discover the nation's greatest living icon, the top‐ten shortlist provided a few surprises. Possibly surprising to many was that the Queen didn't even get a look in – but the greater surprise for others might be that not a single business leader even got the whiff of a chance to gain the crown.
Practical implications
Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.
