We are excited to announce that Professor Jennifer Chatman and Charles O'Reilly have been awarded the best article award for 2021 from California Management Review! 

The article, Transformational Leader or Narcissist: How Grandiose Narcissists Can Create and Destroy Organizations and Institutions, addresses a critical problem in today's business landscape: how to recognize the signs of narcissism among leaders. By the DSM-5 criteria, people with narcissistic personality disorder have an inflated sense of their own importance, a feeling of superiority and entitlement, a need for admiration, an extreme level of self-confidence, and a willingness to exploit others for their own ends. If left unchecked, a narcissist's unbridled pursuit of their own self interest can harm organizations over the long run.
