CEO Personality

Research on CEO personality explores the link between a chief executive's personality traits and their company's performance and risk profile. Current investigations utilize various methods, including text analysis of CEO speeches to infer personality characteristics (e.g., using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and computational models like principal component analysis to identify key personality dimensions and their impact. This research aims to improve our understanding of leadership and organizational behavior, potentially informing better selection processes and risk management strategies within companies.
