Is it true that working longer hours makes you more successful? Do you need to hide your emotions in order to gain respect as a manager? Does higher pay always lead to higher performance?

The world of management is blighted by fads, fiction and falsehoods, but good managers are essential for both private and third sectors.  Author, FT contributor and director of High Pay Centre Stefan Stern visits the RSA to uncover some of the famous myths surrounding the much-written about topic of management. He will debunk false assumptions, inject truth into over-simplifications and tackle damaging habits head-on.

Using insights from psychology, leadership theory and organizational behaviour, he will provide a compelling and practical guide to avoid falling into the trap of management cliché, misinformation and prejudice.
