Personality and the fate of organizations
"Personality and performance are intricately linked, and personality has proven to have a direct influence on an individual's leadership ability and style, team performance, and overall organizational effectiveness. In Personality and the Fate of Organizations, author Robert Hogan offers a systematic account of the nature of personality, showing how to use personality to understand, evaluate, select, deselect, train, and understand organizations." "This book brings insights from a leading industrial organizational psychologist who asserts that personality is real, and that it determines the careers of individuals and the fate of organizations. The author's goal is to increase the reader's ability to understand other people - how they are alike, how they are different, and why they do what they do. Armed with understanding, readers will be able to pursue their personal, social, and organizational goals more efficiently." "A practical reference, this book is extremely useful for MBA students and for all those studying organizational psychology and leadership."--Jacket
