In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the Dunning-Kruger Effect—a cognitive bias that causes individuals to overestimate their own knowledge and abilities while undervaluing those of others. We’ve all encountered that new firefighter or EMS provider who seems full of confidence but struggles to deliver results. They can be tough to work with! But here’s the kicker: you might have been that provider once, too. It’s part of being human. Take notes on this one, and encourage every new team member to reflect on the insights shared in this episode. Join us for a conversation that could change the way you view competence in yourself and others!  LINKS to diagram: https://medium.com/geekculture/dunning-kruger-effect-and-journey-of-a-software-engineer-a35f2ff18f1a<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1563617/support">Support the show</a>🔗 EMSconnect – All Social Media & Resources 👉 <a href='https://linktr.ee/EMSconnect'>https://linktr.ee/EMSconnect </a>
