There's a lot of great points in the article, though I'm unsure how Silicon Valley's early/mature companies stack against average ones.

Take for instance:

- Are managers at a pizza shop / drywall contractor / design studio better than the average startup?

- Are managers at IBM / GE / JPM better than ones at Facebook / Apple / Google?

At first blush, I'd think that we're actually better correcting for firm age, but I'd love to see the data/research.
