BEWARE TALKING TO STRANGERS
Malcolm Gladwell in his latest book “Talking to Strangers” argues people make terrible lie detectors. While some people are skilled at detecting fraud, most of us consistently overestimate our ability to understand strangers and are in incapable of spotting deception. Evidence suggests we are as accurate as a coin toss in predicting someone’s success in our organisation. There are over 150 human biases. Many of these come into play in the first seven seconds of meeting someone. A great first impression can often hide this misfit beneath.
Profiling tools, algorithms and artificial intelligence have become more accurate at predicting success and development needs, than human judgement. Choose your tools wisely this Valentines Day and fall in love for the right reasons.
Positively!
