#Psynapse: Edition1 – #Confidence Without #Competence

Ronald dominated every meeting. He dismissed feedback, claimed expertise in areas he barely understood, and often led projects astray. Meanwhile, quieter colleagues-far more skilled – hesitated to speak up.

This is the #DunningKruger Effect: a #cognitivebias where people with low ability overestimate their competence, while experts underestimate theirs. Psychologists uncovered it in 1999 through a series of experiments on self-awareness and performance.

In #talent #strategy, confidence ≠capability.

Build #cultures that #reward humility, feedback, and continuous learning—not just volume.

📌 Let’s rewire how *we* work. Follow the series. Share your reflections.
