Perspective of Meritocracy

The challenges of meritocracy raise questions about whether current measurement methods accurately reflect true merit and whether they perpetuate existing bias.

Business growth and innovation today are heavily dependent on talented people who have the right mentality, aptitude, and attitude. True believers of meritocracy hold a strong belief that individuals should gain power, influence, or reward solely based on their abilities and achievements, irrespective of their social, cultural, or economic background. 

This belief opposes hereditary aristocracy and nepotism, emphasizing equality of opportunity.

Key Aspects of Meritocracy

-Equality of Opportunity: Proponents believe meritocracy ensures everyone has access to education and opportunities to develop their talents.

-Open Competition: Works should be awarded through open communication and constructive competition, harness innovation and improve professional competence.

-Fair Access to Qualifications: Equal opportunity requires not only open competition for advantaged positions but fair assessment of qualifications. 

Self-awareness is important for the recognition of people’s cognitive ability and style, intellectual engagement, creative problem-solving capabilities, personalities, innovativeness, plasticity, agility, and emotional intelligence etc. 

The challenges of meritocracy raise questions about whether current measurement methods accurately reflect true merit and whether they perpetuate existing bias.
