It’s happened plenty of times in the past two decades. A new idea in the world of management captures the imagination of executives, becomes the rage on the conference circuit and then appears to die down. (Gartner calls this the “hype cycle.”)

But do these ideas and practices really disappear?

Old trends never die. They just become one color on the palette of modern management practice.
