The Superboss Playbook for Managers

Discover the secrets to cultivating exceptional talent with The Superboss Playbook for Managers. Learn from the best leaders in the world and unlock your potential to develop high-performance teams.

What is a superboss? A superboss is a leader who doesn't just manage, but creates other leaders. These exceptional managers possess unique characteristics and leadership styles, fostering unconventional, creative, and top-tier talent – a crucial skill for any ambitious manager. You may know names like Ralph Lauren, Lorne Michaels, and Larry Ellison, but you don't need a famous title to be a superboss. Anyone can become a superboss, and this course provides a step-by-step guide to implementing proven superboss practices.

This course draws on 25 years of experience from Sydney Finkelstein, a professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, and his extensive research into the secrets of superbosses. Based on a 10-year study interviewing hundreds of leaders across diverse industries, this course reveals the common thread: superbosses consistently cultivate exceptional talent.
