Three years ago, a handful of INSEAD professors felt that all this ranking and list-making was more of a sport than an exercise to shed some light on what actually makes a CEO “number one” (or two or three...). So they collaborated with Harvard Business Review (HBR) to produce research that led to a unique classification of nearly 2,000 CEOs.

Completely agree. Ranking have their place and it helps simplify choices. In reality, we are all very ranking-conscious. With so much competition, it is almost natural to rate things in comparison with other things. I recently wrote a blog post called "Why consultants love best practices" and it touches on the same ideas. Thanks for the article. www.consultantsmind.com
