Abstract
Current research that focused on expertise and superior performance came out with the revelation that expertise and superior performance are skills that come with many years of deliberate and vigorous training. Thus, it is a fallacy to attribute expertise and stellar performance to innate attribute or what people call “natural gift.”This article advises Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and leaders who may not possess superior knowledge and skills to hire young stars and talents who can bring new ideas and new perspectives to the table. This is the only way they (the CEOs) can become stars and experts themselves. In real life, especially in developing countries, bosses at the helm of affairs prefer to hire half-baked and mediocre subordinates to work under them. They are generally reluctant when it comes to hiring stars and talented people for fear that the young stars would out-shine them into losing their authority or position. This is a wrong notion for a boss that wants to bring genuine progress to his organization. Stars and talents will bring new ideas and new perspectives into the work of the organization. By so doing, they will usher in superior performance into your organization. With the shining performance of your organization, the CEO of the organization has become a performing star himself.
