Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent

Superbosses can be found across a wide range of industries, both in the more glamorous and the more ordinary sectors. Their success is marked not only by their achievements but also by their unique ability to discover, nurture, and develop talent. Research shows that if you take a closer look at the top fifty leaders within any sector, you will find that up to a third have been under the mentorship of a superboss at some point in their careers. After a decade of investigation and over two hundred interviews with such influential figures as technology executive Larry Ellison and fashion innovator Ralph Lauren, Finkelstein delves into this intriguing, though previously unrecognized, phenomenon. He illuminates how we can adopt the key strategies of superbosses to build our own robust networks of exceptional talent.
