Any mention of the Sixties elicits an immediate response: hippies, Vietnam protests, Woodstock, sexual freedom, and psychedelic drugs. But along with all of that something quite dramatic happened to corporate America as well, and it started showing up in the data in 1960. It was the first salvo in an economic revolution, one that was largely in keeping with the above phenomena: the rise of talent.
As I describe in my article in this month’s HBR, up to 1960, the U.S. economy had evolved at a glacial pace and had exhibited remarkably narrow and limited creative intensity.
