About this listen

 this episode explores the evolving corporate landscape where meritocracy is being emphasized over diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. It highlights how some business leaders, influenced by political shifts, are prioritizing performance-based promotions. Critics argue that a focus on meritocracy without considering DEI can perpetuate existing biases and undermine efforts to create a truly level playing field. the show examines the potential pitfalls of abandoning DEI, including the resurfacing of unconscious biases in hiring and promotion. However, it also suggests that some companies are seeking a balance, aiming for a "diverse meritocracy" that values both fairness and talent. Ultimately, the piece questions whether a true meritocracy can exist without intentional efforts to address systemic inequalities. The speaker points out the need for companies to define and evaluate performance, be transparent in their practices, and strive for evidence-based initiatives.
