Hogan, J., Hogan, R., & Kaiser, R. B. (in press). Management derailment: Personality assessment and mitigation. Chapter to appear in S. Zedeck (Ed.) American Psychological Association Handbook of Industrial and Organizational Psychology. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.
It is estimated that half of all executive careers end in failure. This chapter summarizes nearly 30 years of research on why executives fail, and integrates the findings into compact and practically oriented frameworks. At the root, managers fail due to troubled relationships caused by the dark side of their personalities and an inability to adapt to change. We discuss how failure can be prevented through assessment and development targeted at the roots of failure and a more systematic approach to helping managers make significant transitions, such as a promotion to a new and larger job.
