(P) Troubles at the top - Are Romanian leadership derailers different from others?

In 2012, HART Consulting, a business psychology firm, specialized in leadership assessment and development, authorized distributor for Hogan Assessments in Romania and Republic of Moldova, conducted a survey on +350 people, working adults, from various industries and various levels in organizational hierarchy which aimed to discover what make a bad boss. The survey was also deployed in other countries within Hogan network (from US, Western Europe and Asia). Researchers within HART Consulting used closed questions to investigate this issue and discovered several interesting aspects: first, Romanian leadership flaws are quite similar with what was discovered in other countries. Second, there are some common personal characteristics that predict toxic leadership and in the same time are the very catalysts for ascending the corporate ladder.
