The Hubris Hazard
My book The Hubris Hazard, and How to Avoid It (Routledge, 2024 with a Foreword by Matt Nixon) offers practical guidance for managers and leaders on how to recognise if they or their organization might be at risk from hubris and what they can do to reduce or remove the risk.
Managers, coaches and consultants can use the book’s ‘Hubris Health Check’ to identify:
- If an organization is at risk from the hubris hazard;
- Where the biggest dangers are;
- What can be done to reduce or remove the risk.
The Hubris Hazard is illustrated with recent examples of hubristic leadership in business and politics, including Boris Johnson, Elizabeth Holmes and Sam Bankman-Fried.
The Hubris Hazard is ideal for managers, coaches, consultants, politicians and their advisors, and anyone else, who wants to learn more about hubris risk and how it can be avoided.
What People Have Said About The Hubris Hazard
At last hubris compels attention at the core of business risk. This book is a splendid addition to Eugene Sadler-Smith’s already formidable contribution to the academic literature on hubris.
