Practice and research with senior leaders can be rewarding but also challenging and risky for industrial and organizational (I-O) psychologists; the fact that much of the work with these populations is difficult to access elevates these concerns. In this article we summarize work presented by prominent researchers and practitioners at a symposium organized to share common practices and challenges associated with work at higher levels of organizational management. We review implications for research and practice with senior leaders by examining how assessments are applied at senior levels, how assessments and development practices can be linked, and the challenges associated with research and evaluation conducted with these leaders. Also, we offer suggestions for advancing research and practice at senior levels.

对高级领导者评估和发展状况的批判性评估

与高级领导者的实践和研究对工业和组织 (IO) 心理学家来说可能是有益的，但也具有挑战性和风险；很难获得与这些人群有关的大部分工作，这一事实加剧了这些担忧。在本文中，我们总结了杰出研究人员和从业人员在一次研讨会上提出的工作，该研讨会旨在分享与更高级别组织管理工作相关的常见做法和挑战。我们通过检查如何在高层应用评估、如何将评估和发展实践联系起来，以及与这些领导者进行的研究和评估相关的挑战，与高级领导者一起审查对研究和实践的影响。此外，我们还为推进高级研究和实践提供建议。
