Clifton has pledged that Gallup will continue this effort to collect world opinion for 100 years in 150 countries.

Under his leadership, Gallup has expanded from a predominantly U.S.-based company to a worldwide organization with 40 offices in 30 countries and regions.

Clifton is the creator of The Gallup Path, a metric-based economic model that establishes the linkages among human nature in the workplace, customer engagement and business outcomes. The model is used in performance management systems in more than 500 companies worldwide.
