Toby Stuart on Why You Can’t Ignore the Hidden Forces of Social Status in Your Organization
Think your workplace runs on pure merit? Think again. In this season-opening episode, Berkeley Haas professor and leading sociologist Toby Stuart reveals how hidden status dynamics shape whose ideas get heard, who advances, and why meritocracies might be a “nice myth to think about” but nearly impossible to achieve in practice. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.
Stuart, author of the new book Anointed: The Extraordinary Effects of Social Status in a Winner Take Most World, joins organizational culture experts Jenny Chatman and Sameer Srivastava to explore how social status quietly drives decisions, what functions it serves in organizations and societies, and how leaders can navigate—and reshape—these hidden hierarchies.
