Abstract

Reviews Josie Esquivel's career history, detailing how, through her personal attributes, skills, experiences, and organizational practices she has developed into a star analyst. Should Esquivel accept an offer to leave Lehman Brothers for Morgan Stanley? To make this decision, Esquivel needs to reflect on what made her successful and to consider seriously what it would take to move her "franchise" to another company without compromising her performance as a star.
