Attend this conference to discuss issues of leadership and hubris – distortions of thinking and changes in personality associated with the exercise of power – one of the most dangerous issues in business today.
Hear from some of the speakers ahead of the event:
Bringing together leading figures from business, behavioural management thinkers and psychologists, this is an important event for board directors and senior managers.
Studies show how readily prominent CEOs overpay for takeover targets in order to grow their companies, and reveal the ways powerful executives discount the wishes and needs of stakeholders. This conference examines leadership and hubris, and is jointly organised by Cambridge Judge Business School and the Daedalus Trust.
Could your business be at risk? How do you know? What can you as a senior manager or director do to not fall victim to hubris, and to harness the energies and passions of senior staff without encouraging hubris?
The conference will be a chance to hear from leading thinkers including:
- Lord David Owen, Author of The Hubris Syndrome and former British Foreign Secretary
- Martin Taylor, Chairman of Syngenta AG and former CEO of Barclays Bank
- Gillian Tett, Author and Assistant Editor of the Financial Times
- Manfred Kets de Vries, Distinguished Professor of Leadership Development at INSEAD and author of The Neurotic Organisation, Struggling with the Demon, and Leadership on the Couch
- Professor Christoph Loch, Director of Cambridge Judge Business School, who has researched the effects of status and hubris in organisations
- Professor Dame Sandra Dawson, Cambridge Judge Business School
- Professor Nicola Clayton, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge
Last booking date: 12 September
