The New York Times May 19, 2009 OP-ED COLUMNIST In Praise of Dullness By DAVID BROOKS Should C.E.O.’s read novels? The question seems to answer itself. After all, C.E.O.’s work with people all day. Novel-reading should give them greater psychological insight, a feel for human relationships, a greater sensitivity toward their own emotional chords. Sadly, though, most of the recent research suggests that these are not the most important talents for a person who is trying to run a company… In other words, warm, flexible, team-oriented and empathetic people are less likely to thrive as C.E.O.’s. Organized, dogged, anal-retentive and slightly boring people are more likely to thrive.
