According to the Benchmarks Source Book, the leading derailment factors for executives in the 1983 study were: Arrogance, betrayal of trust, inability to adapt to a senior's leadership style, over-dependence on a boss and failure learn diplomacy upon arrival at the executive level (McCall, M.W. Jr. & Lombardo M.M., 1983).
The Benchmarks source Book reported no changes for 1985. The year 1995 was chosen to validate the studies recorded in the Benchmarks Source Book and began by reporting that over-dependence on a senior or mentor was no longer a contributing factor to executive derailment (Van Velsor, E. & Leslie, J.B. 1995) while limited business experience has emerged as a new leading cause of derailment among executives.
The results of the 1995 survey also include a multicultural survey to compare causes of derailment between the European and American executive counterparts.
The 1995 survey reports that European executives were more likely to have issues with interpersonal relationships and team building while both European and American executives equally had issues with the ability to adapt to change. My co-workers would probably say that I am overconfident, lacking industry experience (only 10 years in the Ship repair Industry) and though definitely an extrovert, certainly not very personable or sociable, perhaps perceived as not genuine or "Real"

They are many different characteristics of a leader who has derailed. One characteristics is the difficulty to changing or adapt to different scenery (Henderson, 2013).
One thing I learned with being a leader is that you have to be flexible and be able to go whether ever you are needed. I've seen a lot of leaders get throw off when they are not where they always work at. Some leaders like to stay in their comfort zone and not try different things. Another characteristic is falling to build your team (Henderson, 2013).
My boss told me a while back in order to be a successful boss you must build a successful team. Without a successful team you are not going to go far because behind every great leader is a great team. Another thing that plays apart of derailing is hoarding talent (McCauley, 2016).
Hoarding talent is not good because bringing up that talent could possibility bring your company to the next level. If you see a potential employee that could be good for another part of your company don't be afraid to move them. I believe that my team sees me as somebody who is learning and trying to grow within the company. I don't think that they would say I have any derailing characteristics.
