The Secret Behind Extraordinary Talent: Why Some Leaders Produce Entire Industries of Stars
In 1971, Alice Waters opened Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, at a time when most Americans ate frozen vegetables and mass-produced meals. Her revolutionary idea-serving simple food made from fresh, local ingredients-seemed almost radical. But what happened next was even more remarkable. Dozens of people who worked in her kitchen went on to win James Beard Awards, open acclaimed restaurants, and transform American cuisine. Waters hadn't just changed how Americans ate; she'd created an entire generation of culinary talent. This phenomenon extends far beyond restaurant kitchens. Some leaders possess an almost supernatural ability to spawn exceptional talent. They don't just build successful organizations-they fuel entire industries with stars who go on to lead, innovate, and inspire others. This is the superboss effect. Miles Davis, the jazz legend whose personal life was chaotic and tumultuous, developed stars like John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock. Michael Miles, CEO of Kraft Foods, lived a stable life with a 52-year marriage while producing executives who became CEOs at Nabisco, Campbell Soup, and Mattel. Despite their radical differences, both were talent factories.
