The Intoxication Of Power: Interdisciplinary Insights

Leadership Hubris has been blamed for the failures that arose in the wake of the second Iraq war and the global economic crisis that followed the banking bail-outs between 2008 and 2010. The Intoxication of Power, with a Preface by Lord David Owen, is a collection of contributions from thirteen authors who are business leaders, neuroscientists, psychologists and others from various academic disciplines. The contributors all share a concern for the development and understanding of the nature and origins of leadership hubris, and of ways in which its negative consequences might be mitigated. The book originated from discussions and papers presented at conferences held by the Daedalus Trust, an educational charity fostering interdisciplinary research into hubris and other challenges to organizational well-being.
