Intellectual humility is acknowledging your own knowledge and limitations, and it is generally seen as foundational for skills like critical thinking and decision-making. However, Dr. Steve Bland’s research suggests that cognitive diversity, which includes some intellectual arrogance and dissent, is actually beneficial in collective decision-making. Leaders can leverage the contributions of individuals who are “always right,” while also striving for intellectual humility at the team or organization level.
On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Steve Bland PhD, an Associate Professor in the Philosophy Department at Huron University. His work focuses on the intersection of empirical science and philosophical theory. They discuss the challenges and impacts of intellectual humility in the workplace, and how leaders can take a collectivist approach to creating humbling environments.
