Too often, people decisions go wrong not because of a lack of talent, but because of bias. I learned this lesson years ago on the water. I was part of a sailing crew that was winning, until a leader made a biased call that disrupted the team dynamic. Capability wasn’t the problem. Subjective judgement was. We lost our shot at the top. Business is no different. Legacy assessments carry construct, method, and item bias that distort results. AI-native tools inherit data and model bias, often inside a black box. Below I’ve written more on how objectivity transforms talent decisions. I hope it is useful to you.
