Sector-Specific Disorders

Adrian Furnham

Chapter 7 in The Elephant in the Boardroom, 2010, pp 155-176 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter deals with five disorders and their relevant leadership styles. Each type of style is recognizable, particularly in certain sec­tors. Thus paranoids do well in the security business and hysterics in show business. Next, it is important to remember two things: first, that these disorders can (and often do) co-occur, giving each person a unique profile. Second, there is often a fine line between when these disorders may be considered healthily adaptive and when they can have a massive negative effect on leadership.
