Strange Study: 'Babyface' Look Helps Black CEOs

Black Fortune 500 CEOs with a "babyface"appearance are more likely to lead companies with higher revenues and prestige than black CEOs who look more mature, an upcoming study says.

In contrast with research showing that white executives are hindered by babyface characteristics, a disarming appearance can help black CEOs by counteracting the stigma that black men are threatening, according to the study from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.

The study is scheduled to be published in the journal Psychological Science in September.

A babyface is characterized by combinations of attributes, including a round face, full cheeks, larger forehead, small nose, large ears and full lips, the study says.

So, Marcellus Wallace may not be the best choice for CEO?

The ONLY one in the bunch who could MAYBE be called a babyface is Don Thompson.

Marcellus does have a diverse group of people working for him.

That might be a plus.

That skit was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on TV. Cracked me up.
