In an article titled “Management Derailment: Personality Assessment and Mitigation,” which was published in the American Psychological Association Handbook of Industrial and Organizational Psychology in 2010, the research team of Joyce Hogan, Robert Hogan and Robert B. Kaiser conduct a thorough literature review on the subject of management derailment.

As the authors of the literature review observe in their Introduction, although “the economic literature clearly shows that good management enhances organizational performance and that some managers are better than others … there is little consensus in the psychological literature regarding the characteristics of good managers … (while) the research on bad managers converges rather well” (Hogan, Hogan & Kaiser, 2010). The thrust of the authors’ research focus is therefore directed at determining why, despite more than a century of scientific inquiry on the subject of management, the abundance of accepted research on the subject of human resources has failed to identify the characteristics and traits which define competent leadership in a managerial setting.
