If you are going to have a boss (or be a boss), make it a Superboss. Why? Because a Superboss leads individuals, teams, and organizations in ways that move the world.
Sydney Finkelstein, bestselling author of Super Bosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, shares these insights in our interview. Sydney is Professor of Management and Faculty Director of the Tuck Executive Program at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth where he specializes in business leadership and strategy.
In this episode, we talk about:
why working for a Superboss may be the best thing you ever do for your career
what sets Superbosses apart when it comes to hiring
why Superbosses dismiss textbook approaches to leadership
how Superbosses leverage collaboration and competition in teams
how losing incredible talent only strengthens Superbosses and their organizations
what you can do right now to become a Superboss
how Superbosses pursue deep passions outside of work
Sydney shares incredible stories from his research and captures how Superbosses often act in fascinating and counterintuitive ways.
