What makes a good CEO
In praise of dullness, David Brooks writes, which gives an idea of what the research found:
What mattered, it turned out, were execution and organizational skills. The traits that correlated most powerfully with success were attention to detail, persistence, efficiency, analytic thoroughness and the ability to work long hours.In other words, warm, flexible, team-oriented and empathetic people are less likely to thrive as C.E.O.'s. Organized, dogged, anal-retentive and slightly boring people are more likely to thrive.
