Ep:#94 Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders with Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic
Meritocracy would be a nice idea, but there is no evidence that leadership selection is meritocratic.
\nWe live in a world where men succeed because of their incompetence, and women fail because of their competence.
\nSo, what does progress look like?
\nIt is not about making it easy for competent women to succeed.
\nInstead, progress is making it harder for incompetent men to succeed in the first place.
\nIf you would like to understand how the word authenticity has been weaponised in mainstream discussions.
\nWhy you should not be yourself.
\nAnd the reason gender diversity in business isn\u2019t for the benefit of women \u2013 then you really do need to listen to this episode with Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic.
\nTomas is the Chief Innovation Officer at ManpowerGroup, Professor of Business Psychology at University College London and Columbia University, co-founder of deepersignals.com, and an associate at Harvard\u2019s Entrepreneurial Finance Lab.
\nAnd he is the author of 12 books \u2013 which includes Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders? (and How to Fix It).
\nThis is a conversation that turns so much conventional thinking on its head. My favourite type of conversation!
\nSo if you\u2019re keen to understand how not to lead to the economic decline of your company, this thinking will probably be helpful.
\nSo throw on those running shoes or find that favourite beverage, and here is Tomas.
