Abstract: Personality traits of managers are the predictors of employee satisfaction and performance drivers in the business organisation. Behavioural determinants of the manager largely affect the work-culture environment of an organisation. This paper discusses the behavioural insights that are instrumental in improving the performance of managers in terms of efficiency, adaptability to the work environment and operational effectiveness. Cognitive dimensions not only have a strong direct effect on perceived performance of managers, but also mediate the effects of a number of other psychosocial variables. This paper delineates various personality traits that lay positive influence on managers. The authors identify ten personality traits of managers as intangible assets that help drive the positive performance of business firms.
