A study of impending derailment and recovery of middle managers across career stages
研究为何一些快速晋升的中层管理者会脱轨，以及为何有些人能恢复并重返快车道，分析了不同职业阶段的管理技能和自我意识。
Why do some fast-track managers derail? Why do some recover and return to the fast track? This study investigates these questions by analyzing managerial skills and self-awareness during different career stages. The results suggest that derailers have significantly lower skill profiles than do successful managers at all career stages. The study also identifies specific skills that managers need to be successful in their careers; furthermore, it reports that derailers overestimate their skills in comparison to successful managers at all career stages. The results imply that one can avoid derailment or recover from derailment by developing both self-awareness and specific managerial skills. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
