Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis

If I may ...
For your consideration ...

An excellent read making the case on how diversity policies, rather than meritocracy, have, and will, make things worse in the future.

"When boards choose diverse CEOs to make a political statement, high performers who see an organization shifting away from valuing honest performance respond by disengaging."

"Americans living today are the inheritors of systems that created the highest standard of living in human history. Rather than protecting the competency that made those systems possible, the modern preference for diversity has attenuated meritocratic evaluation at all levels of American society. Given the damage already done to competence and morale combined with the natural exodus of baby boomers with decades worth of tacit knowledge, the biggest challenge of the coming decades might simply be maintaining the systems we have today."
