Take advantage of the early bird rate and attend on 19 September to consider the issues of leadership and hubris. 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. Distortion of thinking, and changes in personality associated with the exercise of power, is one of the most dangerous issues in business today.
Bringing together leading figures from business, behavioural management thinkers and psychologists, this is an important event for board directors and senior managers.
Hear from:
- 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
This conference examines leadership and hubris, and is jointly organised by Cambridge Judge Business School and the Daedalus Trust.
