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
