In 1933, Albert Einstein fled Nazi Germany for the leafy streets of Princeton, NJ and joined the Institute for Advanced Study, bestowing instant credibility on the fledgling research center. Abraham Flexner, the institute's founder, wasn't a physicist or mathematician-but he had a knack for leading genius. Under his leadership, IAS became a global powerhouse, home to 33 Nobel Laureates, 38 Field Medalists, and myriad winners of the Wolf and MacArthur prizes. Einstein's Boss filters Flexner's practices through the lens of modern business, where industries from computing to biotechnology compete for top talent and cutting-edge innovations. The book explains how to spot the deep thinkers who will transform your business and reveals 10 rules for guiding them to greatness. Leading people who are smarter than you is no easy task. But for managers who learn to channel brainpower into breakthroughs, the rewards are boundless.
