Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic is an organizational psychologist, author and entrepreneur. He's the Chief Talent Scientist at Manpower Group, a company focused on workforce solutions. He also serves as a professor of business psychology at University College London and Columbia University. He's also the author of multiple books including: Why do so many incompetent men become leaders.
We can all relate to working for someone whos in a leadership role who is awful at their job. The very fact that they managed to land the position is a source of mystery and often frustration to us. But these people, often men hold leadership roles in every walk of life, from the boardroom to politics.
In this episode we ask how these people do it, how do they rise up the ladder, how do they fool people into believing they are competent when in reality they are the opposite.
Find out what the traits of a good leader are and learn why women have an advantage when it comes to these traits. We discuss how leadership in the past was more egalitarian than today.
We hear why people are drawn towards charistmatic leaders who give off an air of competence and certainty, we saw a great example of this during the pandemic, but giving off an air of competence is not the same as being competent.
Discover how good leaders are able to go against their instincts and can embrace openmindedness.
Learn how to identify if your boss or even you are a narcissist, and find out how AI is making us even more narcissistic.
Plus we talk about the role confidence plays in our lives socially and professionally and how we can harness it to become better version of ourselves.
