Klappentext zu „Chasing Stars “
Many firms go to great lenghts to lure star employees away from competitors in the belief that talented performers who change firms will bring their success with them. But in Chasing Stars, Boris Groysberg reveals what a disastrous assumption this can be. After examining the careers of more than a thousand star analysts at Wall Street investment banks, he comes to a striking conclusion: star analysts who change firms suffer an immediate and lasting decline in performance. The book examines how its findings apply to many other occupations, from general managers to football players. Offering profound insights into the fundamental nature of outstanding performance, Chasing Stars also offers practical guidance.

Rezension zu „Chasing Stars “
[Boris Groysberg's] new book, a meticulous study of the performance of Wall Street analysts, asks the key question: is the success of individual 'star' employees transferable to other businesses? In other words, is it the team/institution that is key to the high performance or is it mainly down to the individual concerned? -- Stefan Stern, Financial Times [B]rilliant... [T]he best business book of the year on human capital... [Groysberg's] findings, and the force and richness of both his data and his presentation, should have an indelible effect on how we understand exceptional performance. -- Sally Helgesen, Strategy + Business What if talent is more like an orchid, thriving in certain environments and dying in others? It's an interesting question, full of nature-versus-nurture overtones; we could debate it endlessly. But Boris Groysberg, a professor at Harvard Business School, has spoiled the debate with an unsporting move. He's gathered some data. And what he discovered forces us to rethink the argument. -- Fast Company The book is fascinating reading, as Prof. Groysberg digs deeper into the implications for knowledge workers and portability of jobs... [T]here are lessons in here for executives and knowledge workers in general and, more particularly, human resources officials concerned about the talent war for knowledge workers. -- Harvey Schachter, Globe & Mail Chasing Stars is an important work challenging the myth that talented workers can succeed anywhere. It proves that the best employer-employee relationships are mutually beneficial and that both can gain much from each other if they try. -- ForeWord Early in the summer, Paul DePodesta read a book that intrigued him. Its title was Chasing Stars. Its author was Boris Groysberg, an associate professor at Harvard Business School. Its thesis had a practical application that had yet to reveal itself to Mr. DePodesta. It did in November, when the Mets hired Mr. DePodesta to be their vice president of player

development and amateur scouting... [T]he most telling template for how they might return the Mets to prominence [is] Dr. Groysberg's examination of how businesses and organizations can create environments where talent can flourish... Mr. DePodesta was ... encouraged by the upshot of Dr. Groysberg's findings: The author could map out general conditions under which 'stars' would thrive in new organizations. -- Mike Sielski, Wall Street Journal Chasing Stars highlights the key factors that improve the odds of successful job transitions. Build a network that extends beyond the confines of your research group and department. Evaluate the cultural and intellectual attributes and resources of a potential employer. Value those things above the monetary compensation in any offer package. -- Peter S. Fiske, Nature Over 10 years, Groysberg--who is associated professor in the organisational behaviour unit at HBS--and his colleagues collected data on what happened to star analysts from Wall Street firms and their professional ranking when they moved to a rival firm... The exhaustive study, examined in detail in Groysberg's new book Chasing Stars, came to an unexpected conclusion: stars who switched jobs generally did poorly, often for at least several years. -- Australian Financial Review
