Useful scientific findings for better executive appointments
This is very interesting book or rather a research report. More than 300 appointments are analysed scientifically for success. Such factors as, internal versus external appointments, the use of a committee to make the selection versus a single person , the selection steps, what candidate qualities are most important for success, and much more have been examined using statistical methods. The book is not an easy read but fortunately it is short, 77 pages. Even when it may in some cases hard to understand, the findings are thought provoking, and the list of questions asked is excellent.
