Pratch is a practicing psychologist who focuses on assessing and coaching executives who occupy or are candidates for top positions in business organizations. In this book, she shares insights from more than twenty years of executive evaluations and offers an empirical method of identifying executives who will be effective within organizations-and to flag those who will ultimately fail-by evaluating hidden aspects of personality and character. Pratch compares candidates with impressive careers and tries to determine which are likely to act with consistently high integrity and exhibit sound, timely judgment when faced with unanticipated business problems. Central to effective leadership is a psychological quality called "active coping," which Pratch defines and explores by referencing case studies, historical figures, and her own scholarly work. This book speaks not only to those in hiring positions and their advisors but also more widely to leaders and anyone who wishes to learn more about their own character and the abilities of those around them. Pratch offers knowledge, asks questions, and challenges common perceptions, providing a practical tool for those in business and for the general reader. 410 0$aColumbia business school publishing. 606 $aLeadership$xPsychological aspects 606 $aExecutive ability 606 $aPersonality assessment 606 $aExecutives$xPsychology 606 $aExecutives$xSelection and appointment 615 0$aLeadership$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aExecutive ability. 615 0$aPersonality assessment. 615 0$aExecutives$xPsychology. 615 0$aExecutives$xSelection and appointment. 676 $a658.4/0920287 700 $aPratch$b Leslie S.$01529899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786559903321 996 $aLooks good on paper$93774450 997 $aUNINA
