"C.E.O.’s with law or M.B.A. degrees do not perform better than C.E.O.’s with college degrees"






se accede a un articulo en el NYTimes - Resumen:

• Strong people skills correlate loosely or not at all with being a good C.E.O
• 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
• 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.
• There’s a tension between being resolute and being flexible. The research suggests it’s more important to be resolute, even at the cost of some flexibility.
• C.E.O.’s get less effective as they become more famous and receive more awards.
• The C.E.O.’s that are most likely to succeed are humble, diffident, relentless and a bit unidimensional. They are often not the most exciting people to be around.

That's it!
