Recent research suggest humble, generous leaders deliver better results by learning from mistakes, creating  productive dialogue, and building stronger teams. In this presentation, Dr. Robert Hogan will discuss the downsides of charisma, upsides of of humility, recent research supporting these claims, and ways organizations can actively select and develop humility in the upper ranks.
