What does a superstar performer looks like to you? Does it look like fame,
fortune, prestige, achievement or all of the above?
What does the life of a superstar performer look like? The question can be confusing. Does it look like fame, fortune, prestige, achievement or all of the above? The qualities that most have measured stardom today do not at all look familiar. In A World of Their Own, however, Frederick Lancaster explores and affirms eight matrixes/qualities personifying legendary superstar performers. Words such as standards, integrity, trust, passion, preparation, talent, support system, community, as well as other words synonymous to system of care management that may have the reader think, I understand the meaning of these words, but does he? The reader is introduced to terms such as, “disconnector”, “connector”, “independent contractor”, and “gofer” as words used to enhance the readers in-depth understanding of support systems associated with the circle of influence of superstar performers. These concepts are necessary for the reader to comprehend the managerial operations of organizational success, but the concepts also help the reader see clear that not all support systems are created equal unless they are intimately connected to shared values of the superstar performer. With thought provoking analysis, Lancaster sheds a completely different light, expansive language, and dimensional depth to the qualities that superstar performers of all occupations epitomize. These qualities, the author believes, should come to mind of every person who plans a profession in the personal and organizational management game. In fact, the matrixes should gauge, identify and determine what to look for in potential business relationships. Along the way, we learn who are superstar performers and those that are not. We are then able to learn in depth the various angles to look for in measuring them. These same qualities are easily found in your successful high school teacher, coach and civic –minded member of your neighborhood. Frederick Lancaster; a 25- year plus professional in the social science industry, debunks instant celebrity as the gauge to legitimate superstardom, but removes the glare of cheap pop culture, in order for the reader to refocus their lens on true qualities that make legendary superstar performers.
