Editorial Reviews

“Superbosses shows the incredible impact that great managers can have, both on their employees and on entire industries.  As masters of career development, superbosses are both talent magnets and launchpads, remaining valued allies with their proteges long after their official relationships have ended.  Syd has written a true leadership guide for the Networked Age.”
—Reid Hoffman, Co-founder and Chairman of LinkedIn, Co-author of The Alliance

“I couldn’t agree more with Sydney Finkelstein that innovation is part of the leadership DNA. The best bosses—superbosses—must foster a culture of innovation, encourage smart risk taking, remove obstacles, and drive change. They demand world-class performance and empower their teams to achieve it. Superbosses gives leaders a playbook to bring out the best in their people.”
—Jeff Immelt, chairman and CEO, GE

“First and foremost this is a book about leadership–how the best recruit, nurture and build teams of strong leaders. Consider it a beacon, written about  Superbosses who manage talent innovatively and achieve unrivaled success in their field–and written for those who want to excel and play at the top of their game.  Sydney Finkelstein has nailed it.”
—General James Amos, USMC (Ret), 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps

“Superbosses is one of the most important, groundbreaking, and actionable leadership books to hit the market in years. Literally anyone who is seeking to have a positive impact on their organization and to achieve personal success as a natural consequence can apply the powerful yet straightforward concepts in the book starting immediately.  Sydney Finkelstein has done the hard work of proving, through deep research and analysis, and showing, through colorful stories and examples, that the way the best leaders succeed is by unleashing creativity, innovation, and motivation through their approaches to hiring and management. But here’s the best news – these lessons are teachable and directly applicable, whether you are a chief executive, a soccer coach, or an aspiring young professional. “
—James M. Citrin, Author, The Career Playbook and Leader, CEO Practice, Spencer Stuart

—Millard Drexler, Chairman and CEO J.Crew Group
