V ER S USO UT SIDE CEO ANALYSIS The following tables show the total number of inside versus outside CEOs within each company. For each good-to-great company,
we examined all the CEOs from ten years prior to the transition date to 1998. For the direct comparison company,
we did the same analysis, using the corresponding good-to-great company's transition date. For each unsustained comparison company, we examined the period from ten years prior to its attempted transition date to 1998. We counted any CEO who had been with the company for one year or less as an outsider.
