“The Dark Side of Personality and Managerial Careers”

There’s a somewhat paradoxical set of findings that the dark side of personality comes with a silver lining: people displaying these characteristics are often remarkably successful in their careers. Seth focuses on integrating research on managerial behavior, especially contrasting “successful managers” (who are promoted quickly) and “effective managers” (those who lead their teams and accomplish goals), with research on the Dark Triad of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Seth will discuss “lessons” on how to behave to capture the upside of these characteristics while minimizing their long-term liabilities.

Seth is an assistant professor in the School of Management.

The cost to attend is $15/person and includes lunch. Register online to secure your spot.

“Why Women’s History Matters”

Respectable women covered themselves from neck to toe in the 19th-century U.S. Indeed, women who exposed their arms, legs, or chest in public were assumed to be sexually promiscuous–maybe even prostitutes.

Fast-forward to 2016: the “covered” female body is now associated with conservative Islam and female repression, while exposed women’s bodies have become not only respectable but a sign of Western women’s emancipation and liberation.

How did we get from then to now?

Leigh Ann is a professor of history who specializes in women’s studies, gender and sexuality.

The cost to attend is $15/person and includes lunch. Register online to secure your spot.
