A webinar discussing how escalating CEO pay may impair leadership ability and shape social dynamics within organisations. (10:00-11:00, Tuesday 19 November)
The decades-long trend of escalating CEO pay shows no signs of abating. Kim Peters, Nik Steffens and Alex Haslam are part of an international team of psychologists who aim to shed light on the way in which high leader pay can shape social dynamics within organisations. At this event, Kim, Nik and Alex will briefly summarise research that shows that high pay may directly impair CEOs’ capacity to perform their core function: leading their organisation.

Niklas Steffens is Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Business and Organizational Psychology in UQ’s School of Psychology.
