Are You a Superboss?
Today I’m speaking with Sydney Finkelstein, an expert in leadership and the author of the well-researched book, Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Must Master the Flow of Talent.
We first discuss the main archetypes of different superbosses (the iconoclasts, the nurturers, etc.) through a number of different examples of well-known business leaders.
Then we get into various factors that make superbosses tick alongside some sentiments that are tantamount to treason when talking to a superboss.
Sidney also shares how superbosses almost always leverage the apprenticeship model when it comes to growing new talent.
