How to avoid death by hubris at the board table

Get on Board

Hubris is the enemy of board effectiveness and, therefore, organisational success. At this webinar, we unpack what hubris looks like in the boardroom and how to eliminate it with Peter Allen.

Research has shown that hubris is the chief enemy of learning and development of boards and, therefore, of the long-term survival of the organisations of which directors and trustees are custodians. Hubris makes people deaf to learning and threatened by it. If hubristic people hold sway on a board, rational, objective decision-making can be compromised, along with effective risk management.

At this webinar, learn how to eradicate hubris in the boardroom and pave the way for better decision-making, improved risk management, enhanced reputation, and a commitment to continuous growth and innovation by the board.
