Hello.
Today we have an organizational theorist and distinguished professor of business administration at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, Toby Stewart. Toby has written a book on one of my very favorite topics, I annoyingly talk about this. The book is called Anointed, The Extraordinary Effects of Social Status in a Winner-Take-Most World. This was so fascinating, wasn't it?
Yeah, really interesting deep dive into status and how we're impacted by it.
Yeah, I was very aware of the evolutionary benefit of status, but I didn't know about how we use it as a very useful shortcut to identify quality and competency and all these little areas of our lives where we have a very little bit of amount of information and we have to rely on something and ultimately what we will default to is status and it affects everything as well.
Yeah, and he talks about how AI is going to,
Potentially.
Mix that up a little bit, which is interesting.
It is. Please enjoy Toby Stewart.
