CEO's Face Correlates with Company's Fortune

Any successful business person can tell you about the importance of “face time”—actually sitting down with clients, coworkers, maybe even competitors. But there may be even more to this whole face-to-face business than meets the eye—or exactly as much as meets the eye. Because a new study from Tufts University suggests that the success of a corporation rests squarely on the face of its CEO.

The researchers took photos of 50 CEOs from the highest and lowest ranked Fortune 1000 companies. And they showed these pictures to a group of undergrads. They asked the students to rate each face on whether its owner looked competent, dominant, likeable, mature or trustworthy. What they found is that the students’ impressions tracked with company profits. The more powerful and leaderlike the CEO appeared, the more successful the corporation—even though the CEOs are all pretty much middle-aged white guys in ties.

The study, which will appear in the February issue of Psychological Science, does not indicate whether profitable companies tend to promote people who look like leaders or whether successful CEOs grow to look the part.  Either way, looks like a company’s financial about-face can actually be about face.

No Clowning For Hospitalized Kids


Remember the Seinfeld where the lunatic in the clown costume asked Kramer if he was still afraid of clowns?  And Kramer said, “Yeah.”  Well, he’s not the only one.  A study of hospitalized kids in England found that they positively hate clowns, which are often depicted on the walls in children’s wards.  Researchers from the University of Sheffield took the novel approach of actually interviewing children, rather than relying on adult ideas about what kids like.  They spoke to 255 kids between the ages of 4 and 16.  And none of them liked clowns.   

According to the magazine Nursing Standard, one researcher said, “We found that clowns are universally disliked by children. Some found them frightening and unknowable.” Some representative comments from the kids were, “the clowns are scary,” and “they’re kind of creepy, the clowns.”  Yeah.  On the other hand, kids do like images of the Simpsons, Spongebob Squarepants, characters from Monsters Inc. , pictures of local teams and athletes and photos of the local region.  The researchers created a guide to kid-friendlier  hospital environments, at tinyurl.com/ypzofx
