Executive Personality and Visioning Effectiveness
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The New Global Economy has become a complex environment of intense competition inspiring organizations to restructure in the light of new market needs. It has been widely accepted that organizations without a clear and achievable vision are destined to fail. However, the degree of clarity or feasibility of vision depends on an increasingly important element of the executives' personality. In India, the changing industrial scenario requires business leaders to have a clear and achievable vision. None the less, it is the human resource that takes the organizations to the desired level when each personnel works and adjusts in the organizational environment according to their personality factors. The present research examines the executives' personality and their visioning effectiveness vis-à-vis the relationship between the two. The inter-correlation analysis reveals that the extraversion as a personality factor has positive correlation with total visioning effectiveness and the correlation is significant with three dimensions of visioning effectiveness.
