"Our study has practical implications. We show that narcissistic executives are attracted to each other and the consequences that this may have. Given the limited malleability of a personality trait such as narcissism, the primary practical implication is thus related to executive selection. This means that our research holds advice for boards that are tasked with hiring CEOs, as well as appointing TMT members."
