Regent University
Virtual Conference on Moral Leadership
Narcissism & Toxic Leadership
December 15-21, 2014
CALL FOR PAPERS
Regent University's School of Business & Leadership will host the fifth Annual Virtual Conference on Moral Leadership, December 15-21, 2014. Leadership researchers and scholars, with increasing frequency, warn against the devastating and debilitating effects of narcissism in organizational leadership. Michael Macoby, in a 2000 edition of the Harvard Business Review, commented on this growing trend: "...today's business leaders maintain a markedly higher profile than did their predecessors of previous generations. A growing need for visionary and charismatic leadership has brought to the fore executives of a personality type psychologists call 'narcissistic'." At this year's Moral Leadership Conference, we will focus on the nature, operation, and the dangers associated with narcissism in organizational leadership.
