Summary:

What makes for success at the highest levels of executive leadership? Until recently, most research has been conducted with middle-level managers, whose success is based on distinctively different attributes than success for those at the highest levels of an organization. To work with senior executives, it is critical to understand these distinctions. In this volume, the most recent research on the skills, knowledge, abilities, and other characteristics that define effectiveness of senior executive is examined and integrated in a comprehensive and systematic way for the first time. Industrial psychologists, organizational consultants, and others who work with executive leaders can use this integrated framework to develop innovative ways of assessing, selecting, training, developing, and coaching executives based on solid empirical data. Graduate students and other researchers will find exciting research paradigms in which the most pressing research questions are defined and recommendations are made for avoiding some of the methodological problems that have plagued research on executive leadership in the past.
