The final word on what traits make for highly successful
managers--and a detailed explanation of how to identify potential
standout performers.
Executive Intelligence is about the substance behind great
leadership. Inspired by the work of Peter Drucker and Jim Collins,
Justin Menkes set out to isolate the qualities that make for the
'right' people. Drawing on his background in psychology and
bolstered by interviews with accomplished CEOs, Menkes paints the
portrait of the ideal executive.
In a sense, Menkes's work reveals an executive IQ--the cognitive
skills necessary in order to excel in senior management positions.
Star leaders readily differentiate primary priorities from
secondary concerns; they identify flawed assumptions; they
anticipate the different needs of various stakeholders and how they
might conflict with one another; and they recognise the underlying
agendas of individuals in complex exchanges.
Weaving together research, interviews and the results of his own
proprietary testing, Menkes exposes one of the great fallacies of
corporate life, that hiring and promotion are conducted on a
systematic or scientific basis that allows the most accomplished to
rise to their levels of optimal responsibility.
Finally, Menkes is a passionate advocate for finding and
employing the most talented people, especially those who may have
been held back by external assumptions.
