The authors reviewed the literature on the factors influencing the
development of psychiatrist-executives. The results indicate that
personality traits, clinical psychiatry training, training in
administration, mentors, and administrative experience have an impact on
the making of the psychiatrist-executive. On the basis of these findings,
the authors make recommendations for further research.
