Mark Thompson says “The original premise of Built to Last was visionarycompanies. The idea was that a visionary organization would have more enduring success -- but what about individuals in terms of their work and lives?
What about careers built to last? What about a life built to last? What could we learn from people from a wide variety of professions who had had enduring impact in their work for decades? These were not one-hit wonders or superficial successes; these were people who were able to make a contribution and have enduring impact. That is what we wanted the new book to explore.
