Leader Lab: The Narcissistic Leader

August 29, 2010 by Bret L. Simmons · Filed under: Leadership

My post today over at The Leader Lab is entitled “Five Evidence-Based Outcomes of Both the Bright-side and the Dark-side of a Leader’s Personality.” This article is a follow-up to one I wrote last week entitled “Seven Things to Expect from Your Narcissistic Employee,” which was a big hit on SmartBrief on Leadership.

In this article, I summarize the results of a fascinating study of 75 Major League Baseball CEOs over a 100 year period, published in one of our top research journals. The bottom line is that narcissistic leaders are more likely to turn over good managers, while positive leaders are more likely to achieve outcomes associated with organizational success. That’s something many of us might have suspected, but it’s nice to have some credible evidence behind it.

I hope you check out the article by clicking here!
