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. In This Episode What is a superboss? The research that went into the book, including hundreds of interviews. The three archetypes of superbosses. Confidence and why it matters in being a superboss. Competitiveness and imagination in the workplace. Integrity and being a superboss. Why authenticity is essential for becoming a good leader. On being a hands-on delegator. Why apprenticeship can’t be beat.
