she's describing a framework where decisions are made based on ego and pride
So, how does your company hire people? Double-blind standardized testing?
Humans don't make every decision based solely on ego and pride. But ego and pride are always there. Just because you don't mention their names doesn't mean they've gone away. And it's not like they can be surgically removed, even if you wanted to.
What the article describes is how to acknowledge that your ego and your pride may be tending to steer you in a certain direction, so that you can compensate for them.
- allenbrunson 18y agoi've worked at only one company in my life that i'd personally describe as A-level. i was pretty close to the stupidest programmer working there. not coincidentally, it was also the only place i've ever worked where hiring was very definitely not based on ego and pride. having said that, some of the follow-on comments are showing me how you guys might get something out of this article that i didn't. it sounds to me like a place where i'm glad i'm not anymore.
- andreyf 18y ago...where hiring was very definitely not based on ego and pride Can you explain what exactly about the hiring process there what unique? In particular, how can we try to replicate it in our workplaces?
