There is a lot of focus on the words merit, performance and opportunity. We are all challenged, however, to rethink what we (as individuals and organizations) mean by merit. Listen as Arquella talks with Shari Dunn, Executive Consultant for ITBOM Training & Consulting, and author of the newly released book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work. Shari explores the myth of merit, which is not only about hiring, development and promotion…it also encapsulates who receives the benefit of the doubt in the workplace. Talent pipelines are not broken or empty; they are blocked by the misappropriation of merit. Shari also clarifies how competency checking is experienced, and give tips on the art of civil discourse.
