It's Who You Are| Explaining the Antecedents of New CEOs' Psychological Profiles

<p> Given the breadth of implications that CEO psychological characteristics have for their organisations, in this manuscript I examine those characteristics as outcomes of the new CEO selection process.

I first develop a typology of CEO psychological profiles (the <i>Independent Hero Leader </i>, the <i>Collaborative Champion Leader</i>, the <i> Classic Administrator Leader</i>, and the <i>Landmark Individualist Leader</i>) by cluster analysing a sample of 250 S&amp;P 500 CEOs for which relevant psychological characteristics (i.e., narcissism, charisma, regulatory focus, honesty-humility, Machiavellianism, assertiveness, social influence, political skill, and pro-activeness, CSE, individualism and collectivism) were assessed with psycho-metrically valid scales utilising a videometric approach. Then, I hypothesize that a number of firm, board, and industry characteristics significantly affect the psychological profiles or types selected for new CEO appointments.</p><p>
