Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
Jim Clifton’s career emerged from a Nebraska setting shaped by research, education, and entrepreneurship. He is the son of psychologist Donald O. Clifton, the founder of Selection Research, Inc., and he came through college as a University of Nebraska-Lincoln alumnus while discovering, in practical rather than purely academic ways, the power of asking people good questions. He later recalled working as a student interviewer at an Interstate 80 rest stop and at a youth development center, experiences that persuaded him that careful interviewing could influence real decisions. In 1977 he began his business career in Lincoln with a small marketing-research venture backed by a $5,000 loan. After SRI acquired the Gallup Organization in 1988, Clifton became the leader of the combined enterprise and remained Gallup’s CEO until 2022, expanding it from a predominantly U.S.-based firm into a global organization with offices across 20 countries and regions.
