THE HUBRIS HUB

Hubristic leaders are powerful and successful individuals who become excessively confident and ambitious, they show contempt for the advice and criticism of others; as a result they often recklessly over-reach themselves and inflict damage - both financial and reputational - on themselves and their organizations.

At The Hubris Hub we aim to: (1) create and curate credible content on hubristic leadership in business management; (2) help organizations to understand the hubris hazard and mitigate the risks it poses.
