Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is taken for granted in the knowledge economy that companies must employ the most talented performers to compete and succeed. Many firms try to buy stars by luring them away from competitors. But Boris Groysberg shows what an uncertain and disastrous practice this can be. After examining the careers of more than a thousand star analysts at Wall Street investment banks, and conducting more than two hundred frank interviews, Groysberg comes to a striking conclusion: star analysts who change firms suffer an immediate and lasting decline in performance. Their earlier excellence appears to have depended heavily on their former firms' general and proprietary resources, organizational cultures, networks, and colleagues. There are a few exceptions, such as stars who move with their teams and stars who switch to better firms. Female stars also perform better after changing jobs than their male counterparts do. But most stars who switch firms turn out to be meteors, quickly losing luster in their new settings. Groysberg also explores how some Wall Street research departments are successfully growing, retaining, and deploying their own stars. Finally, the book examines how its findings apply to many other occupations, from general managers to football players. Chasing Stars offers profound insights into the fundamental nature of outstanding performance. It also offers practical guidance to individuals on how to manage their careers strategically, and to companies on how to identify, develop, and keep talent.

Book excerpt: When Ryan chose to return to 2012 to save Eden from certain death, he knew that he would be altering the timeline of the world--but he didn't expect to be followed, or that the "cleaner" from his own time would be so ruthless. Soon, there is nowhere for the star-crossed lovers to run. Capture is inevitable. Eden and Ryan must travel to Ryan's present era of 2123 to face trial. In prison, Eve contemplates everyone she has ever known having lived and died many years before and facing a likely permanent separation from Ryan. Escaping would mean certain death. Taking the blame would save Ryan--but would result in life imprisonment. All Eden wants is Ryan, but is it possible--given the threat their love poses to the thread of time--that they can ever be together? The stakes are high in this epic cross-century romance where love bends the laws of time and reason.
