Executive Effectiveness Profile Instrument Development And Validation, John W. Hanes Edd

Dissertations

As executives ascend in organizational structures, they become less likely to receive objective feedback from superiors, peers, and subordinates regarding the effects of their behavior within their organizations. This loss of feedback can contribute to perceptual blind spots within the executives. Such blind spots and their ensuing negative consequences have been found to be a major cause of executive derailment. Despite the enormous value of feedback, there is a paucity of proven methodologies for providing executives with constructive feedback on the effectiveness of their behavior. Consequently, the objective of this research was to design and validate an instrument that measures …

The study abounds …

Validation Of The Portuguese Version Of The Temperament Inventory, Flavia Jorge
