You're in go-mode. Your employee needs you in "relationship" mode. Or mentorship mode. Or teacher mode. How do you pivot to show up how they need? Or signal that now is not the time w/o hurting the relationship? #leadershipdevelopment #founderled www.rachelboehm.com/tipstothrive...

“Many emotion-AI products base their rubrics on the clinical psychologist Paul Ekman’s theory of basic emotions, which…has been widely challenged as oversimplistic & methodologically flawed...” Stuff like this makes me feel like I’m trying to boil the ocean. Any one else? #iopsych #orgbehavior

Here’s my take on #leadership and #organizationalbehavior. It speaks to the heart of why we misunderstand behavior in the workplace (actions, inactions, things said and left unsaid, body language, tone…). And it’s not anything I learned in my #iopsych books/classes.

As an organisational psychologist who assesses IQ for a living, Trump may have had the potential to be average when he was born. However, being super rich from birth, and having been born with personality traits of extreme low conscientiousness (a predictor of unethical behaviour, and law breaking), and being incurious by nature, he shied away from education early on, and has ran from it ever since then. People like that cope in the world by developing an outsized ego.
He has learned that by acting super confident, he can fake being smart enough to be useful. The problem is that it is not that he knows nothing of value, rather it is that he knows stuff that just isn't so. Just like that tariffs will raise income enough to replace taxes, etc. He suffers mightily from the Dunning Kruger effect, and when there are people asking real questions, resorts to bullying. He is an authoritarian leader, with attributes that make him a despotic leader. This is going to get much worse.
Given that he is president again, he will never listen to anyone, because he 'reasons' that he got where he is by being super smart, so there is no one smart enough to advise him. Like all despots, he has ensured that only sycophants have his ear. This leads to disastrous decisions and even downfall. His followers score very high on right wing authoritarianism. This is where people outsource their thinking and blindly follow their dear leader, no matter what. It is also accompanied by out group aggression, hence the insurrection.
Altemyer & Dean 2020 found that 43% of Americans score high on this, and overwhelmingly tend to be Trump supporters. In addition Choma & Hannock 2018, found that they score low on IQ, which is in keeping with large scale research on right wing authoritarians and even right wing people.
