When they said, "What about merit? What about the best person for the job?" I used to despair. I used to try to get them to understand & to see. But working on folks one by one is exhausting & often doesn't work. Who wants to hear they aren't the best - that they are...mediocre?
The curse of mediocre 💭dudes in leadership.
