Abstract
Abrasive personalities frequently prevent young, high-powered, and capable executives from gaining top positions in companies. A profile of the problem personality reveals a generally intelligent, analytical, hard worker who exhibits impatience with others and reluctance to delegate assignments. These highly competent people become key to the organization yet their political insensitivity makes them unpromotable. They tend to overorganize and oversupervise and often demoralize their subordinates. Their problems must be approached in a forthright manner.
