The Journey from Good Boss to Superboss
What do football coach Bill Walsh, restaurateur Alice Waters, television executive Lorne Michaels, technology CEO Larry Ellison, and fashion pioneer Ralph Lauren have in common? They share a similar approach to finding, nurturing, leading, and even letting go of great people. The way they deal with talent makes them not merely success stories, but what Sydney Finkelstein calls superbosses.
In this Soundview Live webinar, The Journey from Good Boss to Superboss, Sydney Finkelstein shares the fascinating stories of superbosses and their protégés. He explores a phenomenon that never had a name before and shows how each of us can emulate the best tactics of superbosses to create our own powerful networks of extraordinary talent.
