The UK has a new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, and his cabinet is one of the most Oxford and Cambridge educated in years, from a party built on the promise of social mobility. In this episode, host Niels Brabandt uses that story as the starting point for a wider conversation on leadership, education and diversity: what organisations commonly get wrong, and how to do it better.
Niels Brabandt explains why neither blanket anti-intellectualism nor blind trust in qualifications makes for good decisions, why isomorphism and groupthink take hold in leadership teams, and why the scientific evidence for diversity improving outcomes is unambiguous. He also covers hard KPIs and soft Critical Success Factors, and the central insight that no selection decision is ever truly neutral, along with what leaders can do about it in practice.
