Op-ed: We need to stop the ‘privilege of stupidity’ among leaders

The cofounder of verb says we need to pay attention to “a broader system that allows certain people to make mistakes, feign ignorance, and still land on their feet (if not be lauded for it).”

Picture this: You’re at an award gala for a project you and your team spent over a thousand hours working on. It went through revisions, blood, sweat, and tears, and finally garnered an award nomination. So when the winning team (not yours) accepts the award and says something like: “We don’t even know how this happened! We’re kinda dumb?” you would be forgiven for flipping a table.
