Description

Executive selection practices at the top of organizations often fall short of the standards applied to front-line staff and middle management. In Choosing Leaders and Choosing to Lead, Douglas Board explores why the selection of chairmen, chief executives, and chief officers lacks the rigor seen in other areas of human resources. While hiring for lower-level roles has improved significantly over the last 30 years, senior leadership appointments remain inconsistent. Drawing on extensive experience in executive search and leadership, Dr. Board provides a deep look into the science, politics, and intuition involved in high-level recruitment. This book combines academic research with practical insights, utilizing the sociology and psychology of leading scholars to examine how leaders are chosen. It is an essential read for those interested in the complexities of management, human resources, and the evolution of organizational leadership.
