Why executives derail: perspectives across time and cultures

Article Abstract:

The Center for Creative Leadership has done some derailment studies in the 1970s and 1980s, shedding light on the developmental needs of US managers who vie for senior management positions. In a recent study, derailment has been found to be a developmental, not a values, issue. Managers are not derailed by cultural value differences but by the demands of the position.
