| Topgrading - the concept comes from the book by Brad and Geoff Smart - is one of today's most crucial strategies for winning. It simply means to fill every position in the organization with an A player, at the appropriate compensation level. Studies have shown that most successful organizations have at least 90% of people in A player range. Topgrading is just as important for small businesses as for large ones, as underperformers stand out painfully in a small staff.
