AB  - This article fleshes out integrity as the fourth dimension of the active coping style examined as one (but not the only) predictor of success as an executive. To manifest integrity in business means behaving with a clear set of values; those values balance self-interest and concern with interest in and concern for others. This balance is consistent with the values and goals of the community. The executives were classified as high or low integrity based on their behaviors demonstrated in business over at least five years. It considers how investors can increase their chances of selecting executives who will use the independence and power that comes with their roles responsibly and constructively.TOPICS: Private equity, manager selection, in portfolio management, quantitative methods
