Basic Competence Can Be a Strategy

Raffaella Sadun, a professor at Harvard Business School, explains
why seemingly common-sensical management practices are so hard to
implement. After surveying thousands of organizations across the
world, she found that only 6% of firms qualified as highly
well-managed — and that managers mistakenly assumed they were all
above average. She is a co-author of “Why Do We Undervalue
Competent Management?” in the September–October 2017 issue of
Harvard Business Review.
