Brooks' article greatly simplifies CEO personality traits as compared to different types of roles they must fill (growing a small company, turning around a failing business, etc.) just as the original article Brooks cited (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=972446 http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=972446) is reporting on data collected mostly by private equity companies to take charge of companies they own.
