Leading clever people can be enormously challenging, yet doing so effectively is the key to your organization's sustained success. This book offers ideas, practices, and examples that you need to create an environment where your most brilliant people can flourish.
Some big fibs have endured longer than any others"The cheque's in the post," for example. Or: "No, darling, you look lovely in that." And finally: "Our people are our biggest asset." Here is a terrific new book that explodes the last item in that unholy trinity. The truth is that not every employee is such a huge asset, or "talent", to use the fashionable term. Only some of your people are your biggest asset. The point is to spot them, nurture them - and know when to leave them well alone... ...These are the people who, in your business, are going to make the difference between just getting by and excelling. They have vast potential. Handle with care. - The Financial Times, September 3, 2009
