In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Employee Evaluation Reinvented with Kent Nuttall 38:25

2 года назад38:25

38:25

Kent Nuttall – Author Untapped Value: The Power of Meaningful Competence Your relationship with an employer hinges on how your performance is evaluated. The ideas for this book began with a dysfunctional relationship, one in which my supervisors praised me as a department hero while delivering a “Meets Expectations” rating. Untapped Value shows you a better way to build and measure that relationship—performance evaluation that begins with you, the employee. In this book you’re introduced to and shown how to use an innovative new approach that focuses you and your supervisor on the actual value you create. Imagine being known for measurable, visible value. Isn’t that a lot better than being among the 85% percent who are labeled as “meets expectations”? This new approach is called Meaningful Competence® because you’re now building competence that’s meaningful to you, as well as to the organization you work for. You build this Meaningful Competence using a toolkit that will flex to your situation. Hosted by M. Bruce Abbott, e-learning narrator…
