Description: A genius thinks more deeply and more creatively than other people. But in today's constantly shifting technical fields, intellectual power is not enough. Skilled leaders are needed to "focus" that brilliance, break down barriers, set goals, and successfully bing products to market. "Einstein's boss" recounts the story of Albert Einstein and his unconventional supervisor, Abraham Flexner, who shaped a fledgling scientific group into the world-renowned Institue for Advanced study. Drawing on historical lessons, and the author's own leadership experience, the book uncovers 10 essential rules for creating high-powered teams of genius who achieve more together than they ever could alone.
