About
Topgrading means selecting the best from among many options. It is largely a practice of discovery - based on selection criteria - and followed by an assessment of options. It means choosing the best - which can also be the most expensive and challenging, but it is worth it if a robust option for Solving Pressing World Issues is required.
Things like seeking the Extraordinary, Peak Performers, and Superheroes. Everyone loves them and many want to be one. A Positive Psychology perspective indicates that anyone can do it, pending their 10,000 Hours.
Topgrading could apply to Subject Matter Experts, organizations, products, institutions, etc.
