Great to see this new research Fabrizio...that stars often aren't as "portable" as it seems. Your findings also remind me of related research that, for leaders, shows promoting from within results in better performance than hiring those (often dazzling) external candidates.

Honored to see our research with Matteo Prato cited in @economist.com AI talent war article. We found hiring “stars” can actually hurt team performance—especially for non-stars—as stars often absorb more resources than they share. www.economist.com/business/202... doi.org/10.1287/orsc...

No person is an island, including and especially "star" performers. Everyone's performance is a function of their organizational/team interactions & relationships. Change the environment and you necessarily change the performance. This works both for stars and not-so-stars.
