Episode 76: Superbosses

Who was your favorite boss?

The best bosses inspire us to be our best selves. I’m fortunate to have had many great bosses throughout my career and I share the story of one boss, in particular.

Sydney Finkelstein, author of Superbosses, says that managers should focus on developing high potential employees by helping them be the best versions of themselves and leveraging their skills in their role—without specifically focusing on employee retention. He says that by supporting and challenging employees, you will end up retaining them even longer.

This may be controversial for you. After all, as a manager, you invest so much of yourself in your team. If they leave, you have to start all over again and spend time finding someone new.

This episode provides tips on how to be a superboss for your employees.
