Cameron Anderson on Competence and Leadership - Haas School

Competence and Leadership

Cameron Anderson discusses how individuals who act like leaders - by speaking up and appearing confident - may be perceived as more competent, even if their actual skills don't measure up. Anderson is an Associate Professor at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley. (2009)

The University of California Berkeley Haas School of Business is one of the world's leading producers of new ideas and knowledge in all areas of business - which includes the distinction of having two of its faculty members receive the Nobel Prize in Economics over the past 15 years. The school offers six degree-granting programs. Its mission is to develop innovative business leaders - individuals who redefine how we do business by putting new ideas into action, and who do so responsibly. The school's distinctive culture is defined by four key principles - question the status quo; confidence without attitude; students always; and, beyond yourself.
