From the book promoted in the article: The CEO next door (p. 22)
"With a ‘Moneyball’ approach to leadership..." review
Sampling/methodology
"One of the reasons for this (stereotypical CEO/survivor bias) is that we tend to limit our
thinking to the companies and leaders that regularly
appear in mass media. This view—typically focused on
Fortune 500 companies—is very narrow. It is also very
shallow: we know little about these leaders beyond their
seemingly perfect public bios. We tend to ignore the vast
universe of companies of all sizes. If you broaden the lens
beyond the Fortune 500, there are, for example, over two
million companies with more than five employees in the
United States alone.5 This means over two million CEOs: a
broad, rich set of leadership experiences that don’t often
get talked about in the press."
