Sidney Finkelstein war ein einflussreicher Kunstkritiker, dessen Werk sich eingehend mit dem sozialistischen Realismus und seiner Anwendung auf verschiedene Kunstformen befasste. Seine Analysen untersuchten die Verflechtung von Kunst, Kultur und Gesellschaft und betonten, wie soziale und politische Kräfte den künstlerischen Ausdruck prägen. Durch seine Schriften versuchte Finkelstein, die Kunst zu entmystifizieren und einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich zu machen. Sein kritischer Ansatz bot eine einzigartige Perspektive auf die Entwicklung der modernen Kunst und ihre gesellschaftliche Relevanz.

"Superbosses exist in nearly every industry, from the glamorous to the mundane. They are defined by consistent success in their fields and their approach to finding, nurturing and developing talent. If you study the top fifty leaders in any field, as many as one-third will have once worked for a superboss. After ten years of research and more than two hundred interviews with superbosses including technology CEO Larry Ellison and fashion pioneer Ralph Lauren, Finkelstein explores this previously unidentified phenomenon - and shows how each of us can emulate their best tactics to create our own powerful networks of extraordinary talent."
