Hubris (in so many ways) is still with us: commentators and pundits still return repeatedly to this ancient Greek concept as a way of diagnosing the shortcomings of leadership and foresight that underpin contemporary political and business failures. These appeals to the notion of hubris rest on aspects of the ancient phenomenon that would have been familiar to an ancient theorist such as Aristotle. But beyond these popular understandings, hubris has become a term of art in contemporary academic approaches to leadership and management and is widely considered to have congeners and analogues in contemporary psychology. Yet these disciplines are rarely brought into dialogue with the intellectual history of classical Greece. This Introduction remedies that deficiency by outlining the approaches of contemporary classics, business and management studies and psychology and discussing the potential for each of these disciplines to draw and learn from the insights of the others.
