Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic: Supercharging human performance
Show Notes Chapter Markers

We’re moving into the age of psychological capital based on curiosity and creativity. We need to harness data on behaviours more effectively to help us understand people in an unbiased, objective, and meritocratic way. It might sound straightforward but it will require overcoming resistance especially from those who have grown into senior leadership roles in the system; they fear what the data may show them, revealing some home truths.

Aspiring leaders have to be willing to challenge the way business works, being dissatisfied with the status quo. They'll need to rethink of aspects of conventional wisdom – the divide between leaders and managers, the premium of style over substance, and the notion that we bring our whole selves to work.

Who better to stimulate our thinking and design this new system that Prof Tomas Chamarro-Premuzic, one of the world’s leading social scientists and practitioners.
