Who Really Matters
The Core Group Theory of Power, Privilege and Success

Adaptations of Who Really Matters:

The Customer Comes Eighth:
My cover article in the September-October 2003 Across the Board (the Conference Board magazine) lays out the main themes.

Are You In With the In Crowd?
My article in the July 2003 Harvard Business Review: At the core of your company, there is a group of people who seem to call the shots--or, rather, all the shots seem to be called for their benefit. The PDF reprint costs $6.00.

Core Group Therapy:
First of two "culture and change" columns in Strategy & Business* directly adapted from the Core Group work. This early (Second Quarter, 2002) rendition was written in the wake of Enron's collapse.

Second excerpt, Summer 2003, and one of the most heavily responded-to "culture and change" articles I've ever written.
